Proxmox and PfSense management with a single public IP

Hi,

I currently have a single NIC connected to a Modem.
I'm passing through the public ip to the PfSense VM and it works good.

However, I'm trying to get Proxmox to take port 8006 of that same public IP so I can manage both Proxmox and PfSense with the same Public IP.
Is there any way to make this work? So if PfSense goes down, I still have access to the web console of Proxmox.


Thanks,
 
Depends...is that a modem or a router? Modem wouldn't help much without a running pfsense.
Did you PCI passthrough the pfsenses WAN NIC?

In case its a router and not a modem and you use virtual NICs for your pfsense you could give the WAN bridge a IP and gateway so the webUI is available there.

So basically, use a router to Port Forward?
This is possible, but I'm exploring managing a complete site with a single device which will be Hypervisor and Router.

Example: Cradlepoint devices have the ability to passthrough the Public IP address to one of the ports, while keeping an specific port of that same IP address it passed through. Example TCP 8443.
With this, I can manage both the device with the IP Passthrough, and the 4G Router.

My original question was if anybody had managed to get this on Proxmox.
