Running UTM with one physical NICs on ESXi providing 2 vNICs

xoaC
Hello,

As my home network is growing bigger and bigger
and I am not satisfied with the firewall my ISP provides,
I am looking for a new firewall which I found in UTM.

According to my plan, I want to set up UTM on my home server with ESXi.
The server has one ethernet cable onto the motherboards NIC plugged into it
and UTM needs at least 2 as far as I'm concerned..
So will it cause any kind of collision when i run UTM over one physical cable 
and NIC with ESXi providing 2 vNICs over one cable?

Thanks in advance

    I think you should make a small diagram of your setup.
    The UTM is a router. It has a minimum of 2 NICs. 1 for Internal Network, 1 for WAN.

    If you put both of these NICs into 1 physical network it's likely to cause several problems. Why don't you "just" put another physical NIC into your ESXi host to avoid these?
