IP Allocation:
104.XXX.XXX.140/30

Usable IP:
104.XXX.XXX.142

Gateway:
104.XXX.XXX.141

Netmask:
255.255.255.252

I'm about to ship out a server and this information was handed to me to setup networking. I realized I needed a router so I setup OPNsense and transferred the information (I think...). My current router gateway is 192.168.1.1 and OPNSense set default GUI interface to 192.168.1.1 so I had to change the interface ip to 192.168.137 as shown in the photos. Should I change this back before I ship it since my proxmox gateway is 192.168.1.1? (Photo proxmox bottom) In general I just need information if what I'm doing is going to work when they rack the server.

You either need to change your OPNSense-IP to 192.168.1.1 or change your gateway in proxmox to 192.168.1.37
Also, if you want to be sure it works while it is still in your posession, do the following:
Connect your PC/Laptop directly to the the physical port you have selected as your wan-port (no switch in-between needed) and set your IP to 104.xxx.xxx.141/30
Then try to reach your proxmox-server on .142 to also check that port-forwarding is set up correctly.
Also try to restart your server while keeping the page open to make sure it automatically comes back as well to test the auto-start (you did enable auto-start on your OPNsense-vm, right? ;) )
