What you can do is the following: In VMWare Virtual Network Editor you configure the VMWare connections as follows: VMnet0 Bridged to the physical adapter that is connected to your LAN. This will become your Green interface. VMnet9 Bridged to the physical adapter that is connected to your WAN. This will become your Red interface.
If you use the EFW VMWare image that you can download, there are 4 NICs installed by default. The first one (normally called "Ethernet") you can configure to connect directly to your physical network (Bridged). The fourth one (normally called "Ethernet 4") you can configure as "Custom: Specific virtual network" and then select "VMnet9 (Bridged)" in the dropdown box. The other two you can configure as not connected and not use them in EFW. If you disable all protocols (including TCP/IP!) except "VMware Bridge Protocol" in Windows on the NIC that is connected to your ADSL connection, all traffic from and to the internet must go through the EFW and your Windows machine is not reachable directly from the internet. This because this NIC will only be reachable by VMWare. This way you can quite safely set up an EFW to protect your "LAN" without running an extra PC.
