Hi, I am just starting to explore Proxmox for a homelab deployment and I have spun up a two VMs (pfSense and Ubuntu) to play around with.

The problem I am facing is that proxmox is able to have internet access and able to ping local machines. However, neither of the 2 VMs is able to ping anything, not even each other.

Proxmox is sitting behind the ISP router and I have a PiHole box which is showing all 3 (Proxmox, pfSense and Ubuntu) is requesting for DNS and their requests were being serviced/replied. Just for some reason none of them are able to ping to local machines nor out to the internet.

Firewall on Proxmox network is turned off. Both VMs are connected to only vmbr0.

Here's the interface details for Proxmox:

Could anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!
 
hi,

can you post the output of cat /etc/resolv.conf from Ubuntu VM or you can try dhclient as well

Also, it seems like resolvconf is not installed by default and I couldn't install it due to no internet access. It's a fresh install of Ubuntu.

Not sure what to make of this tho..

When you said that none can ping ...
you tried to ping an IP address (ping 8.8.8.8) or a machine name (ping www.google.com) ?

Funny enough does it seems to be the DNS queries are going to itself instead of the resolver in my network(piHole at 192.168.1.10)? However Ubuntu network info seems to be showing the correct network info.

Please advise and thanks for the swift response!

As your ping does not seem to work, that is to say that you can't reach the IP ...
The name resolution contacts an IP do ask it the Ip corresponding to a name.
If you cannot reach outside IP, you can't make the queries so your name resolution can't work.
In the previous screen, the default route (gateway) seems to go to 192.168.1.1.
Can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? Does it work ?

That's not working either.
 
It's pretty simple (at least for now).

One physical NIC enp0s3 is connected to internal Linux bridge vmbr0. These I think comes default when I installed Proxmox.

Then I added another Linux bridge vmbr1 which I am currently not using.

Both VMs are connected to vmbr0.

For the exact configuration I think this would describe it better.

There is only one network card and it's connected to vmbr0 at Proxmox side, VMs are both connected to vmbr0.
 
I am very new to Proxmox, hence I did not change the firewall settings, they are at defaults. As far as I am able to tell, it's not activated.

Where do you suggest I check?

And not able to ping Ubuntu from my PC nor Android phone.
