Dear Forum

I want to run pfSense in Proxmox with a FO IP and given MAC address. I gave the VM the name 'pfsense', entered the given MAC for vmbr0.
vmbr0 for WAN and vmbr1 for LAN.

Following network configuration:
===========================================================
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 51.xxx.xxx.208
netmask 255.255.255.255
gateway 51.xxx.xxx.254
pointopoint 51.xxx.xxx.254
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

up ip route add 192.168.0.0/16 via 91.134.xxx.xxx dev vmbr0
up ip route add 172.16.0.0/12 via 91.134..xxx.xxx dev vmbr0
up ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via 91.134.xxx.xxx dev vmbr0

up sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
up sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.send_redirects=0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet manual
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
===========================================================

WAN is not able to communicate to public neither with the host.
Has someone an idea?
 
I found a solution @OVH which works fine!

pfSense also shows that AES-NI CPU Crypto is active. :)
But I am not able to activate Kernel PTI :(
I assume it has something to do with the VM settings in Proxmox.

Has anyone out there had any experience with this?
