Thanks, that link seems helpful indeed! I'll look into it. It actually describes what I was worrying about:
So that, at leas in theory, it seems possible to attack the Proxmox host without it having an IP address on the bridged public network port.
I take it you are running some other VM's...
Well, thanks for your reply. I have tested my setup with two ports and that did work as well. But about the bridging, are you running any firewall configuration on the network ports on Proxmox itself?
Well, I'm sorry if there was no clear question in the post;
My question is whether pfsense on proxmox is a safe solution regarding the bridged networking connections? Could a hacker gain access to proxmox via the bridged network connection that will serve as the WAN connection for pfSense?
I'm thinking of running a PFsense virtual machine on my Proxmox server. This PFsense VM would have two bridged network connections, one for WAN access, and one for LAN access. My Proxmox server already has an Intel network card with multiple network ports.
