HELP Web Interface OFFLINE due PCI VM NETWORK CONTROLLER on auto-startup!

I tried installing Pfsense and adding my 2.5Gbit Nic to it but now i cannot acces the web ui since i started the VM and it booted the web ui offline due probably noob mistake?

Auto-startup/startup on boot is ON :/
 
Depending on your setup you just have to find a way to access it without the web interface/SSH and change the VM config file in /etc/pve/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf

In that file either turn off start-on-boot by removing the entry `onboot: 1`
or remove the line adding the PCI device which should look something like this hostpci0: 0000:05:00.0.

I don't have SSH installed. AT ALL.

Your NIC is passed through to the VM every time on boot. Therefore, making it unavailable for your Proxmox node. With no network, you also cannot connect via SSH.

I'm afraid I worded my answer above a bit confusingly. But you do not connect over SSH, you will need to find an offline way of accessing it. The most simple way would be at the site of the server, with a mouse and keyboard.

I disabled the gui on the monitor..

Is it possible to run eg Linux/Herin'sBOOT-PE to change the configuration files of the VM?
