Does Proxmox block IP addresses via web interface?

Dear all

From my PC, I can no longer access the web interface But the ping and SSH works. From another PC the web interface loads. This also happens with another browser / in incognito mode... Even restarting the whole server makes no difference. I wrote the URL with httpS:// of course, unfortunately it doesn't show this on the image.
For example, does the web interface automatically block IP addresses?

Thanks for your help and best regards

Are you certain that SSH works and actually leads you to the PVE server?

Does this provide html? from PVE: curl -sk https://192.168.10.162:8006 |grep title
From windows: powershell -command "Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.168.0.87 -Port 22"
From windows: powershell -command "Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.168.0.87 -Port 8006"

There is nothing PVE that would block an IP only for web access that gets enabled on install, or can be enabled via regular PVE CLI/API.

Hello and thank you for the answer!

SSH works, as well as the Curl command:

Code:
root@PVE003:~# ifconfig bond0.10
bond0.10: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 9000
        inet 192.168.10.162  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 0.0.0.0
        inet6 fe80::3efd:feff:feb6:c2f4  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 3c:fd:fe:b6:c2:f4  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

A connection can also be established via powershell.

From another PC the web interface works. It is very curious...
 
I think its safe to say that PVE is working normally. Participants in this forum reported that some "smart" home routers take it upon themselves to block non-well-known ports, or traffic between certain ports, as well as some other strange behaviours.
Its possible there is something on your system that blocks browser connection (extension, malware, etc). You should be able to lunch a Windows Sandbox and as an experiment connect from there.

Good luck.
