How does it install on your server?
Three common virtualisation set-ups (VMware ESXi, Proxmox VE, Hyper-V, KVM). Moving dots show the guest traffic path from the physical NIC through the VM to the access points; dashed lines are service links. Click a step to highlight its part.
One host: firewall + hotspot + other VMsThe modem in bridge mode connects to the host's first NIC; the Hotspot-Box VM becomes the site firewall. The guest network leaves on the second NIC, the staff network and the other VMs on the same host stay in a third port group.
