Blocking IP's via VM firewall, blocks it on all firewalls

Hello, so anytime I restrict a vm's firewall it does it overall, so say I want to null route all IP's but the VM's main IP, and the server is hosted on the same ip range, the server would lose connection anytime the vm is booted up and the firewall takes effect.

Example:

pve is hosted on .2
vm ip is .4
I block .2 & .3 on vm firewall

=> .2 & .3 gets globally blocked(not accessible entirely on the network), and pve web interface is no longer accessible, until the vm/vm firewall is off.

Do you refer to Proxmox firewall? If yes post your settings ( files /etc/pve/nodes/*/host.fw and /etc/pve/firewall/* )
