Detail

I am trying to setup SO in a vmware environment. I keep getting stuck after everything is finished where i can't access the web browser gui. I can ping the VM ip and get replies and I can also ping my desktop from the VM and get replies. I have used the allow CLI command to allow my ip's, and have retried the setup 3 times now.

I get no failures when i run the so-status and so-test commands.

I setup using the first NIC in NAT and the second as bridged. I am definitely not a networking guy and this is all new to me. I have followed the Security Onion installation videos for one attempt and then the cyber warrior studios installation on another attempt.

Any help is much appreciated.

I used the so-firewall commands and added a couple more IP's and rebooted. It seems to be running now. I wish i had done it one at a time as i'm not sure what fixed it to be honest, but I am in.

The firewall on the Security Onion VM could have been set up to block access by default, and although you used the allow CLI command, there might have been a misstep in that configuration. The second attempt might have properly configured the firewall, or the specific IP address/range you allowed wasn’t correctly recognized or applied in the first attempt.
I'm also new to this, just installed mine yesterday but I experienced a similar problem and for me it was because I hadn't used an IP range wide enough to encompass all devices on the network.
