How to provide NATed IP address to my Windows VM

[Reuven]

Hi I have a Windows VM that I need it to have a 192.168.70.2/24 address and the proxmox server would have a 192.168.45.77/24 IP that connects to a router (.1) for internet access. I need this connection masqueraded so all my VMs will access the Internet vis this 192.168.45.77/24 connection. There are many formulas but I need one that works. Also I gather that proxmox does not have a DHCP server for the VMs ? Thanks in advance

Proxmox indeed does not come with a DHCP server, but I assume you could install a Debian package or run a container that does that (which needs to be behind the NAT).
The Proxmox manual has a section of setting up a virtual network bridge that provides NAT. There is also a separate sub-forum about networking with Proxmox.
