[SOLVED] Can SDN help with single Host and only one NIC?

[Bob.Dig]

I see that the new Proxmox has a GUI for SDN. I don't know anything about SDN but want to ask, if it can help in the following situation. Only one Proxmox server in the cloud, it only has one NIC. The bridge on that NIC can only talk to proxmox itself, no other host is allowed by the hosting provider (I guess).
Now I read that SDN can support "Source NAT". Will it help here? For now I manually created the NATing on the Host itself without using the proxmox-software for it. I would prefer an integrated solution though (in proxmox, GUI driven).
Wrong usecase of SDN or a possibility?

Yes, with SDN you can create a bridge that support SNAT out of the box. The simple zone would be what you are looking for. What you would still have to manually configure would be DNAT if you have any rules set up for that.

Interesting! Yep, destination NAT is needed for my server(s) so in the end, SDN is not the solution I am looking for. Thank you for clarifying.
