Hello. I am very new to all this. Just beginning..

I know it isn't recommended to have Proxmox running over wireless, yet I have not much of a choice at the moment. I will only be running HAOS for now, so some delay is perfectly fine. Please help me out.

I need help to make the VM (Home Assistant) visible on the network on its IP 192.168.1.5 and also so that it can connect to the Internet.

I have this configuration:

Code:
auto lo
iface to inet loopback

iface enp1s0 inet manual

# Wireless interface
auto wlp1s0
#allow-hotplug wlp1s0
iface wlp1s0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.10/24
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    wpa-ssid XXXXXXX
    wpa-psk XXXXXXX

# Virtual Bridge interface
auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
    address 192.168.200.1/24
    bridge-ports none
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0

    post-up    echo 1> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    post-up    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s '192.168.200.0/24' -o wlp1s0 -j MASQUERADE
    post-down  iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s '192.168.200.0/24' -o wlp1s0 -j MASQUERADE

    post-up    iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -i fwbr+ -j CT --zone 1
    post-down  iptables -t raw -D PREROUTING -i fwbr+ -j CT --zone 1


From shell in Proxmox, I can ping 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.10 and external web pages.

My wireless rooter is with very limited capabilities, so I cannot do custom routing in it.

I have found this forum post and I am trying to replicate it:

Yet, I don't know how to follow the steps explained.

How do I make the VMs "use the 192.168.200.0/24 and gateway 192.168.200.1" IP?

The other steps are also unclear.

Any help on how to make HAOS accessible through the browser, and also make it see the web, greatly appreciated!

Many thanks.
