How do I set up a bridged network with static information?
My host computer uses the public gateway, netmask,and main IP. If I use the same information for the bridge both the host and VM have no connection.
I have no internal information says my ISP.
Everything worked fine with proxmox ISO but the bridge was created automatically so I don't have the settings information.
I'm installing proxmox on top of Debian 9.
XX.XX.XX.XX = public static info.

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug enp1s0

auto enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet static
address XX.XX.XX.XX
netmask XX.XX.XX.XX
gateway XX.XX.XX.XX

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

Hi!
Settings should be:

auto enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address XX.XX.XX.XX
netmask XX.XX.XX.XX
gateway XX.XX.XX.XX
bridge_ports enp1s0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

Best regards,

How do I set it up step by step?

But connection scheme should be something like this:

"home pc with openvpn-clent" - "home router or access point"- Internet - "office router" - "office network with openvpn-server on any PC and PVE-node"

This is one variant only. There may be many variants depending from your networks...
You can host the openvpn-server on the PVE-node for example or on VM into PVE-node...
I'm host my vpn-client and vpn-server in Mikrotik-routers (home and office)...
