Subject: I have successfully installed Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall version 10.0.4 Evaluation in Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.5 LTS KVM Host


Good day from Singapore,


I have successfully installed Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall version 10.0.4 Evaluation in Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.5 LTS KVM Host.


Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall (PA-VM) Download Links

=============================================================


PA-VM 10.0.4: https://www.certcommunity.org/forum/topic/1910-offer-palo-alto-vm-pre-licensed-eval-1004/


PA-VM 11.0.0: https://www.certcommunity.org/forum/topic/4761-offer-palo-alto-vm-1100-qcow2/


It is unfortunate that PA-VM versions 10.2.5 and 11.0.0 don't work on my SGD$150 Intel Celeron J4125 firewall hardware appliance with 16 GB DDR4-2400 RAM (SODIMM) and 128 GB SSD. Perhaps my Intel Celeron processor is too old and is not supported by Palo Alto Networks any more. Anyone can confirm?


But PA-VM 10.0.4 works. However, I need to set the time of the Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall (PA-VM) 10.0.4 virtual machine to a date on 12 Sep 2021, which is 111833956 seconds ago.


The following Linux command is for informational and educational purposes only. You should not run this command. This command is useless.


sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -rtc base="2021-09-12" -hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/PA-VM-KVM-10.0.4.vm_eval.qcow2


You need to set the date of PA-VM 10.0.4 virtual machine to 12 Sep 2021, which is 111833956 seconds ago.


sudo virsh edit PA-VM-KVM-10.0.4


  <clock offset='variable' adjustment='-111833956' basis='utc'>

    <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/>

    <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/>

    <timer name='hpet' present='no'/>

  </clock>


Then start the PA-VM 10.0.4 virtual machine using Virtual Machine Manager (GUI). You MUST start Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall (PA-VM) 10.0.4 using Virtual Machine Manager (GUI).


You can access the console of the Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall (PA-VM) 10.0.4 using the following Linux command.


sudo virsh console PA-VM-KVM-10.0.4


Login for the first time with default username and password of admin/admin.


admin@PA-VM> show interface all


total configured hardware interfaces: 0


name                    id    speed/duplex/state            mac address       

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


aggregation groups: 0



total configured logical interfaces: 0


name                id    vsys zone             forwarding               tag    address                                         

------------------- ----- ---- ---------------- ------------------------ ------ ------------------


admin@PA-VM> 


Then you can proceed to login to the web interface of PA-VM 10.0.4 using your favorite web browser.


I am able to login to the web interface of my Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall (PA-VM) version 10.0.4 using Google Chrome web browser.


Next, I will need to figure out how to configure the Palo Alto VM-Series software firewall. I will probably spend the next few weeks doing that.


Regards,


Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming

How the Singapore Government cheated my family of a HDB flat (Draft 22 Aug 2023)

Subject: How the Singapore Government cheated my family of a HDB flat (Draft 22 Aug 2023) It is a Well-Known Fact that government(s) invented mental illness to punish and torture people (and their families) who criticise the government or say bad things about the government. The Singapore Government rewarded my mother with a mental illness (schizophrenia). By leveraging mind control technology, the Singapore Government is able to make my mother hear voices in her head and trick her into believing that her neighbors are scolding her and targeting her everyday. Yes, the Singapore Government resorted to using this trickery. My mother firmly believes that her neighbors are scolding her and targeting her everyday. So we sold off our 1st HDB flat at Bedok North Street 3 and purchased another HDB flat at Yishun without careful consideration, planning and advice. When we moved to the HDB flat at Yishun, my mother still firmly believes that her neighbors are scolding her and targeting her every...
