Hello everyone !

I am a new user of Proxmox and I am satisfied with it!

I would like to know how I can "open my ports" in order to connect to my panel anywhere on any device, currently, I can only connect to my computer connected via Ethernet.

Thank you very much for your help !

Less secure option:
Log into your router and port-forward port 8006 to your PVE host. But this also means every bot on the internet could try to hack your PVE.

More secure option:
Install a VPN server like wireguard in a VM or LXC and port-forward your router to that VM. Then install a VPN client on all Clients that should be able to remotely connect to your LAN. That way only you can access PVE via a secure encrypted tunnel over the internet. Additional benefit is that you can access all those VMs and computers of your LAN that otherwise would only be accessible locally.

Hello,

If you are going to access from outside the company, I recommend connecting with a VPN.
Another method is to NAT a different port. But I do not recommend this method.
Example: outside port 6708 >8006 inside on the firewall or ISProuter
