Confirmation on setup?

[imnewhere]

I hope this is the right subforum, apologies if it's not. Quick disclaimer as well: I'm very new to all of this and just need to make sure I'm setting this up correctly.

Installed on live usb stick and it runs fine. Problems started when I tried to open a VM and give it network access.

Here's the setup I'm going to use on my next attempt later:

- ISP/Router -> nic0/enp8s0

- Create a bond between enp8s0 and vmbr0.

(The reason I think I need to do this is because my HW only has 1 eth port and I'm using a dongle as output already.)

- Create another virtual interface (vmbr1) within the VM.

- Bridge the bond to vmbr1.

- OPNsense config within VM.

- Bridge the output from OPNsense VM to nic1.

The output will then go from nic1 to nic0 on my next proxmox configured pc and the process will repeat.

I know I'm going to make some configuration changes in /etc/network/interfaces as well, but I can figure that out and this is already long enough. Is this normally how this is accomplished? I'm trying to make do with what I already have right now. Thanks!

Probably more suitable to the network one, i.e. more likely to get answers quicker.

You are planning to throw it away soon?

You lost me here ...

- Bridge the bond to vmbr1.

- OPNsense config within VM.

Ok now I would need a diagram.

The output will then go from nic1 to nic0 on my next proxmox configured pc and the process will repeat.

Does not sound right to me, but I admit I have no idea what's the objective. Maybe I have slow weekend though...
