Can't get networking to go on my Hetzner VPS

[Fiekert]

Recently i've gotten hold of a Hetzner vps from the auction, just to try things in and make myself more familiar with the practices in virtualisation.
in prior experiences i did some small time work with proxmox, but i can't for the love of things get the networking to work on my virtual machine (simple windows box to get things started, virtio drivers are installed, local firewall has been whitelisted for the IP address)
the easiest way for me would be to have it simply bridged, as i tried achieving by setting it up with vmbr0, but when somebody expects it to be that simple it never is.
i catted my interface output as follows:

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface lo inet6 loopback

auto enp41s0
iface enp41s0 inet manual
        up route add -net 65.***.***.*** netmask 255.255.255.192 gw 65.***.***.*** dev enp41s0
# route 65.***.***.***/26 via 65.***.***.***

iface eth0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 65.***.***.***/26
        gateway 65.***.***.***
        bridge-ports enp41s0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
#route 65.***.***.***/26 via 65.***.***.***

iface vmbr0 inet6 static
        address 2a01:***:**:****::2/64
        gateway fe80::1

My keen eye catched the range offered being a /26 range, i've tried many things to get a /24 range in to auto detect, since it just doesn't give me any address.
What thing am i missing here? i tried putting 1 and 1 together with the help of topics from the proxmox forum, hetzners own documentation is extensive but doesn't give me a push that i'm looking for.

Hey, do you only have that one IP that is currently assigned to your Proxmox Host or do you have the complete /26 subnet?

until this afternoon it was the single /26 ip (included) that i assigned. i got the connection working within with adding a vnet subnet, making that a 10.0.0.0/24 subnet which is doing good until now. DHCP didn't work, but static assignment proved to work. despite that i'd like to know what the "ideal" configuration is, since i'd like to have a sort of blueprint for when i want to start from scratch.

i've been on and off trying to have a working setup with 2 bridge adapters. is there a quicklist of some sort to use, since there's a million tutorials online and while i tried many, the simple setup of having 2 "vmbr" adapters using the bridge adapter as source is something i can't get my head around.
