Proxmox 5.1 Can't manually edit vm's firewall files.

[Syndicate]

Hi,

I'm trying to modify the vm .fw files in /etc/pve/firewall

in 6.0 I can download these files such as 100.fw , modify it, then upload it back and it works, but on this version I can't for some reason, the firewall stops working and the config file gets wiped. Is there anyway to fix this without upgrading?

Thanks!

You should definitely upgrade that PVE server as 5.1 is really old and 5.4 is EOL since July 2020 ( https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/FAQ )
