Microsoft HyperV 1.0.0

Microsoft Hyper-V is a virtualization platform that allows users to create and manage Virtual Machines (VMs) easily. This guide will help you set up a Tillered node using Hyper-V.

Prerequisites

  • Create an account on the Tillered Hub.
  • Download the Hyper-V Disk Image from here.

Setting Up a Tillered Node

  1. Install a new Hyper-V Server using the provided file.
  2. In Virtual Switch Properties:
    • Check Allow management operating system to share this network adapter.
  3. In Network Adapter Advanced Features:
    • Enable Mac address spoofing.

Add Node to Your Tillered Account

  1. Log in to the Tillered Hub
    • If you don't have a network already set up, create a new Network. Otherwise, click "Add Node".
  2. Set the Node Type:
    • TEN: Tillered Entry Node for your local network where you want to route outgoing traffic.
    • CEN: Cloud Exit Node for a remote server where you want to route your traffic.
    • FTN: Full Tillered Node for a fully transparent network.
  3. Configure the Node
    • Select the Network you want to add the node to.
    • Select Microsoft Hyper V Hypervisor as the Node Platform.
    • Name the node descriptively.
    • Set the Instance Identifier to the last 12 characters of the tillered UUID shown on the node's console.
    • Set the Validation IP Address to the local IP displayed on the node's console.
    • Click Add Node and confirm.

HyperV Console

The node will configure itself to the virtual Tillered network. It may reboot during this phase, but it will be ready to use when the Tillered Hub node page shows the node as "Provisioned".
