Can't ping/tunnel through pfSense gateway VM from another VM on Proxmox

[Jean Claude]

I have several VMs that I want to tunnel over a VPN using a pfSense Gateway VM.

I have the pfSense VM setup successfully with 1 NAT network adapter and 1 bridge adapter with IP 10.152.152.10 and subnet 255.255.192.0. I can ping .onion sites and the clearnet. /etc/network/interfaces is the default. No changes.

My other Ubuntu 16.04 VM has the same bridge adapter as above and nothing else. The /etc/network/interfaces settings are the default. Now, I can ping the bridge successfully but no traffic reaches the Whonix VM and any wget commands fail. My interface name is not eth0 (it's ens18) but it's still the primary interface.





auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
# increment last octet of IP address on additional workstations
address 10.152.152.12
netmask 255.255.192.0
#network 10.152.152.0
#broadcast 10.152.152.255
gateway 10.152.152.10

The interfaces MAC addresses match up with the bridges assigned so everything seems OK. I'm obviously missing something.

Anybody got an idea of what's going wrong?

so I understand you right, you tring to ping 10.152.152.10 from the VM with IP 10.152.152.12 ?

are you sure the NICS using these IP are connected, and on the same bridge ?

also try to create a new ubuntu VM and make it ping your firstubuntu VM, so you will know if have a network miusconfiguration oar a Whonix setup problem

I got this working eventually.

The routing VM was always able to ping the other guest, and I was missing a dns-nameserver for the same guest.
