Hi all,

I'm new to Proxmox. I installed it on a bare-metal server that it's connected to a dedicated mngmt-VLAN, while the VMs (running on it) are attached to the lab-VLAN.
In order to access the VM via spiece I use the Console->Spice button on the Proxmox webUI

but this point my spice client to the Proxomox server which acts as proxy for the Spice channels.

I would like to access the VMs from my spice client by directly connecting to the VMs IP (lab-VLAN) instead than the Proxmox IP (mngnt-VLAN), how can I do that?

Thanks

you can't connect spice to the vm ips. (because spice is not running inside your vm). It's like a display of the monitor of your vm, like a kvm ip. So you need to use your proxmox management ip for this.
 
Thanks, you are right.
So, the only way to allow hosts on other VLANs to connect to VMs via spice is allowing connection to 3128/tcp of the proxmox mngmt port. Do you know any other way?
Do you know if spice can be installed as daemon into the guest OS, like a VNC server?
