it considers installing VMware EXSi on the server of another provider, and as I understand it, in order for the Internet to appear, you need to order an additional IP and install a separate virtual machine as a router, I have Is the task just to have an Internet in one virtual machine or do I also need to bother with an additional IP and a router on a separate virtual machine?

Answer 1

virtual router will save. or one SP - one virtualka. miracles do not happen!

Answer 2

With VMware EXSi, I know the option through an additional VM as a PfSense router and then dancing with a tambourine to link the main IP to the router.
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/PfSense_2_on_VMw... You
should only experiment with this option if you have access to the server via ILO, DRAC, IPMI, etc. or physical access to the server.
Get an additional IP and configure it on the VM
Do not use ESXi, but for example ProxmoxVE if virtualization is needed.

Answer 3

Comrade, you were told - you need an additional IP for your virtual machine. The IP address given to your server goes to the ESXi management interface. You won't be able to use it anywhere else.
Although I don't understand. you say that you are going to create only one virtual machine with Windows there. Why the hell do you need ESXi then - install Win7 right away, and this IP-shnik will be given to her.
Or put Linux on the host, it has some kind of KVM or virtualbox, and set up NAT between the host and guest systems. Then the IP given to the host system can be used to access the virtual machine to the Internet. And it won't work on ESXi.
