    How do I use NAT with the Proxmox Firewall?

    Hi, I want to use the Proxmox VE firewall to prevent my VMs on the NAT network (vmbr1) from accessing my local network. My first thought was to use the firewall, but after enabling it, my NAT setup collapsed. I'm pretty sure I did something wrong, but I just can't see it.... I'm not a networking...

    Firewall randomly drops connections

    Hello, I've a container which needs to send mails to a server located in the internet via SMTP. Default outgoing behaviour is reject.

    No WebGUI or ssh into PVE, but ping works; Everything works from phone though?

    Hi there! I'm running into a really wild issue here: I want to access my PVE remotely from a different network, so I'm using a wireguard VPN running in an LXC on my Proxmox node. I can use it and ssh into it and other LXCs just fine, however I can't access the pve itself neither by ssh nor by...

    HTTPS macro includes UDP?

    Hey everyone! Quick question: Does the HTTPS macro of the PVE Firewall include UDP traffic (to port 443) or is it still just TCP? I am on PVE 7.4-17, but if it is available in PVE 8.x I would also be interested in the answer, since I plan on migrate to it soon. Thanks in advance.

    I currently have two proxmox Metals in Scaleway Cloud. Yesterday I bought my second one but with the first one I didn't have any issue. So my setup in the first one is a pfsense firewall with a WAN and a LAN in 192.168.1.0/24. Now I introduced the second Metal and created another pfsense (I know...

    SSH connection between VM's accross different VLAN's while using Firewall

    Hi, I read over some other threads that this issue is known but the solution does not seem to be official. That's why I'm posting this one. Example: VM1 on vlan30 and VM2 on vlan60 - VM1 can ping VM2 (and vice versa) - VM2 cannot ssh VM1... But VM1 can ssh to VM2 - PVE firewall is activated...

    Firewall, migrations/SSH for ringX addresses when output is filtered?

    Hi, I noticed that if I set the OUTPUT policy to DROP, I need to add a few rules by default for SSH, migrations to work if I add another ringX address. Could it be that some rules that gets set by default for INPUT may have been forgotten in output ? I see the usual ports...

    Permanent local firewall configuration

    Hi To avoid to loose emails during patches and upgrades we usually closed the SMTP ports via the local firewall in the past at other Linux mail relays. Now I'm missing the functionality of iptables-save / iptables-restore at the PMG. Even after installing the mentioned packages and saving the...

    TCP RST packets dropped by PVE Firewall

    [SOLVED] Can't drop Anydesk discovery multicast traffic at node or cluster level

    Hi, PVE 7.4-16 here. It looks like I can't drop this type of traffic at datacenter/node level. Only VM level works. As per Anydesk documentation (and further traffic sniffing) this is the traffic I need to drop: - protocol: UDP - destination IP: 239.255.102.18 (multicast) - destination ports...

    Proxmox VE firewall not blocking SSH

    I have a very strict firewall policy that essentially boils down to, block ALL traffic from any and all servers and computers that are not essential to that host's operation or needs. This seemed fine for a while but I just realized that anything on VLAN 10 can access Proxmox via SSH, even...
