Hello, I'm discovering Proxmox and I think I might be misunderstanding the Proxmox firewall, at least the zones.

In my understanding, rules applied to the datacenter zone are replicated onto the nodes and the VMs within those nodes. For example, if we allow ping, then ping will be allowed on all nodes and all VMs (where the firewall is enabled).

The nodes zone replicates onto the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and the VMs within that PVE (where the firewall is enabled).

The VM zone only operates on the VMs.

is that correct or i wrong ?

Thank you for your help. I'm struggling.
