Hey,

My LDAP VM needs to supply information to another machine. For some reason I can't get the SSL to work.
Is it a great security risk if these 2 hosts, which are on the same node, transfer data without encryption?
Does Proxmox make a direct connection, or does the data first go to the router and then back?

Thanks :)

when in doubt, run wireshark or tcpdump on that network and see for yourself. securing layer 2 (where the switches and bridges are) is a broad topic.

in this case, i would make a bridge just for those two nodes to communicate and not let anything else on it. its the virtual equivalent of a cross cable.
