Access all VMs directly on my office network

[LM1980]

Hi All,

We have a new office and we have a bare-metal server running Proxmox, hosted in a datacenter. We have only one public IP from the datacenter.
There are few windows servers running on the VMs. Our office setup has a VPN router.
We have been able to connect all Windows Servers to dial the VPN router so that we can connect to them using RDP. However, this calls for 6-7 VPN connections to the router.
I am thinking if there be a better way, of having one VPN link that connects the office network and the Proxmox internal network. Is there a VPN client on Debian (OS that runs Promox) or anything else, that can dial our office router over VPN and make the Proxmox private network part of our office private network?

You could set up a VPN directly on the PVE host that connects a virtual NIC to the VPN and then configure a vmbr with that NIC as bridge port.

Once you assign a (additional) NIC to the guests which connects to that vmbr they should be able to communicate through the VPN.

Another, maybe simpler approach, would be to create a vmbr without any bridge port, resulting in an internal switch. You could then add a router/vpn VM which connects to the internal PVE network and the outside world. Then configure the VPN between your office and that VM.

The other guests are only connected to the internal vmbr and have to go through the router/VPN VM.
