    Is It Best Practice To Use Proxmox Firewall or Firewall In VM?

    @guletz. I never said a firewall would protect you if you use a bad service configuration. And @mayhurst a firewall is basically one more step in protection. No matter what you do there is always a chance of being hacked if you have open ports. With some of the large botnets on the internet...

    Is It Best Practice To Use Proxmox Firewall or Firewall In VM?

    It's your choice but I would never put any device directly connected to the internet without some type of firewall like pfSense in front of it.

    How to set up a network storage as a storage for backups

    If you're using ZFS as your file system you can use sanoid/syncoid for backups. ZFS has built in support for snapshots but they can quickly become a pain to manage. sanoid will automatically take snapshots on a schedule then automatically remove snapshots based upon what you configure.
