Virtual nodes are basically the same as for hw WebHMI or Virtual Box image except for minor details (like VPN + HTTP proxy service control, which are enabled by default for that kind of nodes). Further node configuration is only performed on the Level2. | Virtual nodes are basically the same as for hw WebHMI or Virtual Box image except for minor details (like VPN + HTTP proxy service control, which are enabled by default for that kind of nodes).
