Just finished 4.4.26, 4.4.30 is next.  Should be uploaded in a few hours.

Very much appreciate your work on the plugin, my thanks goes to you

Many thanks for your continued support.

Zeron, you need a donation button, or a 'Buy me a beer' button!  ;)

Looks like it's that time again, would it be possible to have a version compiled for 6.3.0?

Built for 6.3.1

 

Thanks, Zeron!

They put out new versions fast.  Would you mind building it for 6.3.2

Per the plugin -- Open-VM-Tools is not available for Kernel 4.9.10 Please update the plugin.

Done.

You are my hero. ;D

Bad place to ask, but now that I have the tools installed, I had chosen FreeBSD 64-bit as the OS in ESXI, and now it is telling me to select the correct one, any suggestions as to what to select?  It had said Linux 4.9.10-unRAID Slackware 14.2.

 

After a restart, it doesn't seem to give me the same warning.  So maybe it's good now.

i think, your choice "FreeBSD 64-bit" is OK. if everything works then no probs.

unRAID is custom kernel build based on Slackware, so there will be no such option in ESXi to choose.

I can't get this to work, but I'm unsure if its me as a new user doing something wrong?

This is the log when I try to install using the URL in the first post:

Is it possible to have VM's set up & have the VPN working for Network access as well? Currently if I run my VM's with a network bridge, I get no eccess to the rest of my network, only the unraid box I VPN to?
