    mini proxmox build idea pfsense, pi hole, etc

    Sounds like a good idea to me. That way if either your test bed server or DIY router server go down, you can readily fire up a VM on the other, ensuring minimum down time You can re-use your understanding gained from experimenting with your main sever a relatively small server should be enough...

    Intel Quad NIC not showing up in Web UI - Passthrough to VM for OpnSense

    Pass through works by passing through an IO group (PCE Device at a particular address). To see what is in each IO group run the following in a Proxmox shell / command prompt for d in /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*/devices/*; do n=${d#*/iommu_groups/*}; n=${n%%/*}; printf 'IOMMU group %s ' "$n"...

    [SOLVED] 7.1-4 to 7.1-8 update cli disappeared from physical machine ?

    During Proxmox boot up it changes the screen resolution to what it thinks your screen supports. Perhaps this is going wrong. Can you try a different monitor?

    Intel Quad NIC not showing up in Web UI - Passthrough to VM for OpnSense

    You could try pass through to pfsense that way only one OS needs to recognise it.

    Host not reachable on 2nd NIC / network

    The GUI should be available on any bridge with a IP address set and NIC/VLAN connected Set via Proxmox -> Datacenter -> <pve> -> Network -> vmbr2 -> Edit -> Set IPv4/CIDR & Bridge ports To access the GUI you then need to Connect to the specified NIC/Vlan At the specified Hypervisor IP...

    [SOLVED] PFsense best way for network configuration

    Some NIC hardware offloading is best disabled but not all. I did not say it could not be done with a virtual NIC in Proxmox, I said it was simpler if Proxmox is not involved at all. With a virtual NIC the configuration must be correct in both pfsense and Proxmox. Indeed there are multiple ways...

    [SOLVED] Host network access lost after Proxmox upgrade 7.0 to 7.1 (Router VM with pass through NIC)

    Did some more debugging, and found a better solution systemctl restart networking The system must have been left in a weird state after the update from Proxmox 7.0 to 7.1 In more detail Having a fixed DHCP mapping in pfsense masked the problem and achieve apparently normal function. Removing...

    [SOLVED] 7.1-4 to 7.1-8 update cli disappeared from physical machine ?

    Connect a physical screen to your Proxmox server Login to the console then run these two commands ip a && ip r cat /etc/network/interfaces If the issue is not clear you may have to post a photo of the screen until you have remote console access

    [SOLVED] PFsense best way for network configuration

    The best set up probably depends on other details of your application. I don't have a network of Proxmox servers so live migration is not an option in my use case. I pass through all the NIC pfsense uses. The advantages of doing so are: Minimize the attack surface of my router Allow use of all...

    network not working after restart

    Does your router run as a VM on Proxmox or is it sometimes not accessible when Proxmox boots.

    [SOLVED] HOW TO BACKUP PROXMOX CONFIGURATION FILES.

    Agree The VM's like 3cx & pfsense have the option to readily backup / restore their configuration. Proxmox can easily be used to take a snapshot or clone a VM Both options minimize the risks / decreasing the cost of doing and possibly reverting updates. Proxmox host has neither of these and...

    Node Network Traffic empty

    When did it stop working? If on upgrade what was the last version which worked for you? Have you tried any other versions? Can you ping your gateway from Proxmox? Is your router running as a VM on this Proxmox hypervisor?

    Proxmox VE 7.1 released!

    Does pfsense run in a VM on Proxmox? Is pfsense running when that Proxmox starts? That configuration did not work for me with Proxmox v7.1. See https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/host-network-access-lost-after-proxmox-upgrade-7-0-to-7-1-router-vm-with-pass-through-nic.100091/

    [SOLVED] Host network not starting and host failing to reboot (PVE 7.1-7)

    I suspect you have encountered the same bug / limitation as me. Proxmox v7.1 behaves very badly if started without external network services (in my case a Proxmox VM runs the router providing DHCP, DNS, route to Internet). For some reason adding a manual DHCP entry for Proxmox in the VM router...

    [SOLVED] Host network access lost after Proxmox upgrade 7.0 to 7.1 (Router VM with pass through NIC)

    Against my better judgment I tried it too. The brief summary: Proxmox hypervisor still needs the same work around to get outgoing network access but behaves subtlety different to other fix attempts. In more detail. With the work around in place I updated to the current no subscription version...

    [SOLVED] Host network access lost after Proxmox upgrade 7.0 to 7.1 (Router VM with pass through NIC)

    Yep, that's what I thought I had done too until I discovered the mac address was for the NIC not the bridge. No, access to the Proxmox GUI was not lost. What did happen is Proxmox lost access to the network (as a result ping, chrony, program update all failed). Sounds reasonable, the fix is...

    [SOLVED] Host network access lost after Proxmox upgrade 7.0 to 7.1 (Router VM with pass through NIC)

    Where your router is a VM running on a Proxmox hypervisor, so when Proxmox boots there is not route to the Internet, no DHCP server, and no DNS. In Proxmox 7.0 Set the IP address of Proxmox in Proxmox. Nothing else needs to by done. In Proxmox 7.1 Leave the IP address of Proxmox set in...
