How to install pfsense as a VM inside proxmox and handle all traffic before all VM

I had similar issue with VMWare ESXI. I have Proxmox behing ESXI and virtual machines didn't have any networking. I fixed it by changing network switch security settings on VMWare to Allow everything. See picture attached. Hope it helps :)

Hi,

this is not topic related please open a new thread.
 
Hi,

As been said, running pfsense on proxmox (with virtio or not) is not recommended.
You can check : https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/VirtIO_Driver_Support#Disable_Hardware_Checksum_Offloading
well he is not running pfSense on Proxmox, does he?
he tries to run pfSense on Proxmox that in turn runs in VM on ESXi.

the only valid question here is WHY?


PS>> I had setup pfSense on proxmox before.
it works but not in double nested setup.
in my case I run Proxmox on Real Hardware and pfSense in VM. 'it works well for me.
