So I have quite a bit to write to try and set the stage of why I'm pulling my hair out. To start essentially I have my proxmox up and running, I can see the machine and ping it from my windows client on another computer but cant connect using the pinged IP:8006 (IP is also shown on the proxmox client)

I had my proxmox client up and running with my Linksys router. It was working fine and I loved it. Then I needed to switch routers and computers. That's where it all went wrong. Firstly, when I switched routers I had all sorts of issues like the router not detecting the proxmox client so I couldn't assign the MAC address the already configured IP. I accepted that and moved on so I could deal with it later. Then I set up my new computer using the hard drive with the proxmox client on it and it instantly didn't work. Not with the old or new router.

In my troubleshooting.
  • Downloaded linux mint and had it running on the new computer. Connected to internet/router just fine.
  • Have edited /etc/network/instances and /etc/hosts, see below
  • Reinstalled client multiple times
  • Used multiple hard drives
  • Used multiple routers
  • Tried to connect via multiple browsers
/etc/network/ interfaces

Maybe you guys can figure it out because I'm at a loss for words

Do you use https?
 
Do you use https?

So I can't find anywhere in my router where I can change it but your fix worked. I changed the link to https:// instead of http:// and it worked. The proxmox client displays http:// so I'm sorta lost. Any explanation on how that works or how I could change it would be appreciated. The first router seemed to use http:// but would stop working with multiple connected clients or out of nowhere so possibly the https:// fix would've worked aswell.

Thank you very much.

What do you mean by this?

Not sure if there might be exclusions, but afaik the Proxmox GUIs are ever only accessible over https.

So does now all work properly or not?
