I am using qubes 4.0 and i am trying to install a firewall.
I try to isntall kerio control (http://www.kerio.de/products/kerio-control) as it supports VPN. At the end i want to use it as the firewall-VM rather than buy a physical firewall.
Kerio-control got some several versions:
1: software Applience (linux kernel 3.16 based OS)
2: VMware Virtual Applience
3: Hyper-V Virtual Applience
I thought it would be possible first to install the it using the software applience in a HVM. So I made a HVM with no kernel and started it assigning the installation ISO like this :
qvm-start kerio --cdrom=<someVM>:/home/user/Downloads/kerio.iso
It is booting it in the VM, but installation fails at the point where it says " no supported drive found ".
Then I searched if it would be possible attaching a specific drive-device just for this VM in the Quebes Manager. And this it so far. I am stuck here now.
I dont know how i could install it so I can use it as Firewall and the VPN-features.
Did I use the wrong Applience ?
Or can I imitate a physical Drive only for this VM ?
I hope anyone would spend some time helping me with this project of mine.
At the end it is one PC where is installed qubes. This one is a local-server
This PC got 2 LAN devices i could attach separately.
I want 2 routes.
Route 1: Net-VM(LAN 1) --> firewall-VM(Kerio-Control with VPN)
Route 2: Windows-Server HVM with a specific Programm.(attached LAN 2)
Scenario 1: Local Network Windows PC working with a Programm wich need this Windows Server Programm Service
Scenario 2: A dude located in Timbuktu(or whatever) want to work on the same local Network using the kerio-control VPN and his Windows device needs to communicate with the windows Server.
Any thougts about this ?
Thanks so far!
At least I still wish I could run this Kerio-control in a Qubes VM/HVM.
At least I read smth about taking a VMware img and change its format so it works in Qubes but it won't work so far.
I tried taking a vmdk and then :
qemu-img convert -O raw Kerio.vmdk kerio.raw
qvm-run --pass-io work:/home/documents/kerio.raw > /home/user/kerio-root.img
Then i created a HVM with --root-move-from /home/user/Kerio-root.img
But neither it will start the HVM nor I can find the root.img in /var/lib/qubes/appvms/kerio/
I tried smth else so far: Installing the software Appliance on the same Pc on a different HDD and then copy its content to an AppVM but this one even won't work...
I am confused about this all.
Again I really appreciate what Input you all gave me about some other solutions, but I really want to install this Kerio System. So perhaps some input about that :).
