IPFire on VirtualBox is super difficult

Your host by default cannot access a VM (see VB network types). What you might do is:

1. change adapter 2 to host only adapter, ‘Virtualbox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter’)
2. From the VB window, File > Host Network Manager and configure adapter manually instead of 192.168.56.1 to 10.60.1.5 (in effect you tell VB to create its own network that the host can see)
3. from your host, https://10.60.1.1:444 should work

YES! That did it. Now I can access both SSH and Web GUI. Thank you!

Strange that OpnSense worked right out of the box. I didn’t have to change anything in Virtual Box. But anyway, it works. Thank you.
