Hi,
so you can login via ssh? What is the output of systemctl status pveproxy.service and cat /etc/default/pveproxy (if the file exists). Do you get the same error with other browsers? Please also check your firewall settings everywhere.

Meaning that the service indeed failed. You can use journalctl -u pveproxy.service to get more of the log and hopefully find the cause.

in your case there doesn't seem to be any problem with the service. Can you ping the host? Does using a different browser/clearing the browser cache help? Also check your firewall settings.
