As the title says. I am running macos within a virtual machine on proxmox. A natively supported wifi card (for MacOS) has been passed through and is running fine. I now want to share the internet of the macos virtual machine with the proxmox host so that I can update proxmox host software. Is that possible and if so how? So that the proxmos host receives internet via an emulated LAN bridge or somethin like that. Sorry for my newbie-question :)

I tried the forum search but could not find a good result.

Well you'll have to configure your mac VM as a router, i.e. enable packet forwarding.
The host and this VM need to share a bridge and then you put the VM's IP address as gateway in the networking section of your proxmox host.
