and from time to time I see that I have timeout on ping test for both host node and guests VMs
checking /var/log/syslog

I have added to: /etc/sysctl.conf
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_max = 4194304
and run:
sysctl -p
also did:
echo 4194304 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max

it's update for short time:
Bash:
root@node01:/etc# sysctl -a | grep nf_conntrack_max
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_max = 4194304
net.nf_conntrack_max = 4194304

but after few seconds, it's back to:
Bash:
root@node01:/etc# sysctl -a | grep nf_conntrack_max
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_max = 262144
net.nf_conntrack_max = 262144

Thanks!

EDIT:
find it, on Proxmox GUI -> Nodexx -> Firewall -> Options
we can Find the nf_conntrack_max and edit it to the needed value
