Can't Change Proxmox IP

I am wanting to set up a pfSense VM to run as a router. Yes, I know this isn't a recommended setup but it is for learning purposes and will only be temporary.

Currently my network is set at 192.168.0.* with my Proxmox bare metal being 192.168.0.170. pfSense is set to 192.168.175.1

Now for everything to work properly (I think) I would need to change Proxmox to 192.168.175.170/24 with a default gateway of 192.168.175.1 so I changed this in the GUI - boot up the web page, click my node, click network and make the changes above, shut down the server and start back up.

However, when I start the server I can't connect to the web page (this could be a problem with pfSense not working right) so I hooked up a monitor to my server and on boot it still tells me to access the web portal through 192.168.0.175:8006, so it would appear there is something else that needs to be changed.

Looking at /etc/network/interfaces the changes I made are in there.

Also after having pfSense set up in order to connect to it through another VM I have to use the second NIC (in Windows just changing from adapter 1 to 2 works) so I tried changing vmbr0 to be bridged to eth1 instead of eth0 but that didn't work either.
