Because its for study purposes I would recommend to just stick to bridge mode at both side. Keep it simple. In this case no redirects, special routing, etc needed.

Yes, there is a bit of a confusion on bridge mode:
How it works
Bridge mode is the default and most widely deployed due to its simplicity. In bridge mode the Wanos appliance works as a two port switch. The lan0 and wan0 ports have no IP addresses and the management IP address can be accessed via either lan0 or wan0 port. In bridge mode the appliance is placed inline between the WAN side e.g. router or firewall and the LAN side e.g. Switch. The bridge passes traffic transparently through and does not require any routing changes on the network.

wanos-cfg sets the management IP address. wan0 and lan0 have no IP addresses like on a switch.

For a lab setup just use one router or no routers at all.
E.g: One router would just need one interface with two IP addresses e.g.: 10.0.0.1 and secondary address 192.168.0.1
A Linux router can be setup on most flavors with just three commands:
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1/24
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.1/24
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Then the two Wanos wan0 interfaces are placed in the same segment as the router eth0.
Lastly Workstation 12 would not be the first choice for testing, unless it is the only option available.

Hi,
I suspect due to the cost of the hosting + the 20 Mbps license, it is not a good match for a consumer broadband link.
What is the main challenge with the current 20 Mbps link?

- The benefits would vary greatly based on the type of data sent across the link. Is this for general home Internet traffic?
- KVM based hosting providers would normally need the RAW disk image. Usually with hosting providers, the networking setup is the challenging part, hence start with tunnel mode.

On a point to point link, defaults should be enough, because all traffic is sent to the one remote site. Once peer status is up, they will start to exchange data.
On a meshed or multisite network, add the remote subnets in the multisite config and traffic policies. Then bypass all other traffic with a default bypass rule #99. Note from v.4 onward these steps are no longer required.

Ok, I see it is completely isolated and we cannot select China as a region.
Possibly your method of exporting from vmware to AWS was on the right track and close. There are very minor differences between the standard image and the AMI. The only changes are related to using the DHCP IP on startup.
The following steps might work:
Deploy on VMware
Update to minimum v.3.2.2
Install Amazon tools: "apt-get install cloud-guest-utils cloud-init"
Edit /etc/network/interfaces and enable DHCP for eth0
Power off and export to Amazon.
If everything checks out, the Wanos AMI should boot up with the VPC IP. If not, we can look into your requirements and objectives. If there is a good match we can look into creating the AMI from scratch.

Yes, the dictionary needs to be on both sides. The sender uses the dictionary to compress the data and the receiver uses the dictionary to decompress.

Hi,
Yes, the Wanos Amazon AMI is currently hosted in the North Virgina region and needs to be copied to the preferred region:
Here are some more detailed installation steps: Wanos Amazon AMI install

Hi,
Deduplication works the same in both bridge and tunnel mode:
The datastore is like a large dictionary. The English language dictionary has about 170k words, but the Wanos byte dictionary will have many millions or many hundreds of millions of words.
When data is sent across the WAN, Wanos will look for these words in the packets and replace the byte-word in the packet with the location in the dictionary, e.g. Page 100 Line 40. The short code might look something like 100,40. The receiver then looks in the dictionary on this location and finds the data and replace the dictionary location code with the original byte-word data. Once it is complete, the packet payload is a 100% match of the original.

Hi
Yes, KVM should work fine with virtio network drivers. Just double check with "ifconfig -a" and run "/tce/etc/wanos/clean.sh" if the interface are actually detected but not assigned to wan0 and lan0. Complete KVM steps are here http://wanos.co/docs/docs/wanos-admin-guide/installation/kvm-and-virtual-machine-manager/ although I am not sure how that would translate into proxmox steps.
Note there are RAW disk images available for download, but perhaps you needed a sparse raw disk image for proxmox.
Lastly, also consider using the alternative image e.g. MicroCore or Ubuntu to see which one is more seamlessly compatible with proxmox.

Waroon, there is an image on AWS:
Via advance EC2 launch, search for the community ami "Wanos" in the N.Virginia region
Add Wanos AMI image
Security Group rules add SSH, HTTPS and UDP port 4050
