The Secure VNET feature requires IPFW to be running and configured to filter ethernet bridges. Manual steps for a minimal configuration are: ```sh sysrc firewall_type=open sysrc firewall_enable=YES service ipfw start sysctl net.link.ether.ipfw=1 sysctl net.link.bridge.ipfw=1 # permanently enable sysctls echo "net.link.ether.ipfw=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo "net.link.bridge.ipfw=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf ``` see also https://bsdci.github.io/handbook/features/networking/ When the firewall is not properly configured, a dialog should ask the user to apply the above configuration.
