Hello All,
I live at home with my parents while I finish school, so I cannot set up my home network as I would prefer, but I am trying to work on my home in any way I can.
I recently set up a pfsense VM on my home lab, and I have successfully gotten it connected to my main PC and an AP so that my phone and laptop can connect to it.
Currently, I have the network connections laid out as such.
My question is, is it possible to add a connection from the 2.5 GB switch back to the proxmox VE machine so that it can connect to both my home network and the pfsense network I have running?
I already have a motherboard with 2 NICs, and I added a network card with 2 NICs of its own, so I do not have to worry about trying to connect to multiple things on the same NIC.
I know it would be possible to theoretically connect the Proxmox VE machine directly to the 2.5 GB switch and not connect it to my home network at all, but I do not want to do that for redundancy. Knowing myself, I am highly likely to mess something up on my pfsense VM, and I do not want to lose complete access to the server because of my own stupidity.
I have heard of network bonds on proxmox; however, from what I can research, that's used mainly for the same network through 2 NICs in case one fails. I can't find anything about bonding across two completely different networks.
