I am attempting to run untangle firewall in a vm. I am passing through a quad port intel nic which I have had working with pfsense.
I stub my nics using vfio-pci.ids=xxxx:xxxx, the nics are no longer present in unraid and I am able to select them as other pci devices in
unraids vm manager.

I install untangle and everything works fine, I use the setup wizard and have connectivity to the internet. However when I boot after basic config I have no internet connectivity. I can ping googles,cloudfares dns but nothing else. My nics show connected in the untangled interface and I show a wan ip. I thought the problem was related to untangle but started digging in the vm logs and found the following errors for my nics.

I am curious if I should be looking into these errors or my problem is untangle firewall? I noticed the errors are also present in my pfsense vm however pfsense will route traffic. Any help is appreciated. Not sure which direction to go.

Did you ever get Untangle working in KVM? I was literally just talking about doing this exact same thing this weekend. 

Sorry, I know this is an old post but what are the odds of running across a post about exactly what I was getting ready to do.
