Hi everyone,


I’m setting up a Proxmox VE server and plan to host a small Geometry Dash‑style game server (for friends to join and play online). I want to make sure the networking and firewall configuration is secure and optimized for smooth gameplay.


My current setup includes:


• Proxmox VE latest version
• Multiple VMs and LXC containers
• Public IP for the game server VM
• Standard firewall enabled


I’m looking for advice on the following:


  1. Recommended network configuration for hosting a lightweight game server on Proxmox
  2. Firewall rules that allow necessary traffic but keep the server secure
  3. Tips to optimize latency and packet handling for better gameplay performance
  4. Any related best practices for game‑related traffic on Proxmox VE
