    How to Properly Install a Windows 11 Virtual Machine on KVM

    Add new VM ​

    After you have downloaded a Win 11 ISO image just follow the wizard as far as auto detecting OS and whatever you decide to do with the disk and stuff

    After going through the wizard you might not be able to boot it on the first attempt. Try add manually mount a 2nd CDROM with the same Win 11 image and it might just work.

    Without network ​

    Smart to install it without network so you get a local user easier.

    You might get stuck on "let's connect to a network"

    W11 install, stuck in "let's connect to a network" but there are no networks

    Hit shift + F10 > then type/write OOBE\BYPASSNRO and hit enter.

    It'll restart and you have to select language and country again, then you should be able to select "I don't have internet"

    Guest tools ​

    Downlod virtio-win.iso

    sh
    wget https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/latest-virtio/virtio-win.iso

    Mount it to CD-ROM

    Then open virtio-win-guest-tools inside Windows 11

    After this have been installed you should be able to Auto scale

    On the top menu of the guest window

    View -> Scale Display -> Auto resize VM with window

    Network ​

    When using nftables you need to apply this

    nft
    #!/usr/sbin/nft -f

flush ruleset

table inet filter {
  chain input {
    type filter hook input priority 0;

    # accept any localhost traffic
    iif lo accept

    # accept traffic originated from us
    ct state established,related accept

    OpenVPN Server ​

    So just a guide based on explanations from Google Gemini

    The following would be a set of commands and expected responses

    Step 1 Install ​

    sh
    sudo apt install openvpn easy-rsa -y

    Step 2 Initialize the PKI Directory ​

    Recommended: Create and secure a new directory for your CA

    sh
    make-cadir ~/openvpn-pki
cd ~/openvpn-pki

    Step 3 Create the Certificate Authority (CA) ​

    sh
    # Initialize the PKI environment
./easyrsa init-pki

    Response

    sh
    init-pki' complete; you may now create a CA or requests.

Your newly created PKI dir is:
* /home/atle/openvpn-pki/pki

Using Easy-RSA configuration:
* /home/atle/openvpn-pki/vars

    Build the CA. You will be prompted to enter a CA Passphrase. Make this secure and write it down.

    sh
    ./easyrsa build-ca

    Response

    sh
    CA creation complete. Your new CA certificate is at:
* /home/atle/openvpn-pki/pki/ca.crt

    Step 4 Generate Server Keys and Certificate ​

    Generate the server key and CSR. 'server' is the Common Name (CN). ./easyrsa gen-req server nopass

    sh
    Private-Key and Public-Certificate-Request files created.
Your files are:
* req: /home/atle/openvpn-pki/pki/reqs/server.req
* key: /home/atle/openvpn-pki/pki/private/server.ke

    Sign the server certificate using the CA. You will be prompted for the CA Passphrase.

    sh
    ./easyrsa sign-req server server

    Response

    sh
    * /home/atle/openvpn-pki/vars
