Hi everyone,

I'm new to Proxmox and I wonder if it's possible to configure OpenVPN straight to my Proxmox VLANs.
I got a Proxmox server hosted on Servermania.com. I have a public IP address and Gateway address to connect to the Proxmox dashboard and SSH to the server.
The IP address is a part of a public IP range and I don't want to connect to my VMs via a public IP address.
I want to create VLANs and hopefully connect to the VLAN range with OpenVPN.

My question is, Can I configure VPN access to my Proxmox considering my current situation?

Thanks to everyone :)
 
Why would you want to have VLAN in this setup? This is ONE machine and a simple private bridge/network will be sufficient.

I have a setup like this:

Code:
auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
        address  192.168.1.1
        netmask  255.255.255.0
        bridge_ports none
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0
        # allow internet access
        post-up iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 ! -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j MASQUERADE
        # passthrough 1234/UDP to OpenVPN machine
        post-up iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d <public-ip> -p udp --dport 1234 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.254:1234

and I have a VM inside of this network at IP 254 that has an OpenVPN server running on Port 1234.
