    Windows VM Freezing During Backup

    is over WAN ? PBS must be fast, because changed data in VM is blocked because need to be written to first to PBS. There is "Fleecing" option on the PVE side to mitigate this.

    Freeze/thaw VM on Backup

    keep it for Windows guests, as snapshot is done within guest, like Windows Backup or Veeam done the job. Disabling is not recommended, because in-use files like databases can't be consistent, except if you shutdown databases engine and close in-use files.

    Geo IP block help

    After a try , ipset created with PVE UI cannot be managed with ipset direcly. ipset created with PVE UI can be updated with CLI pvesh create /cluster/firewall/ipset/my-pve-ipset-name --cidr x.x.x.x/y but too slow if many lines. editing cluster.fw directly is instant.

    Geo IP block help

    Edit : UdoB link is less complicated. I use this script https://github.com/mkorthof/ipset-country on a host customize the code to keep ipdeny.com download/update and ipset generation/update Remove firewall/rules parts Then use the "ipset" generated directly in PVE firewall.
