Proxmox and pfSense

[allanl]

I have Proxmox 8.3 installed on a Dell server. One of the vm's is pfSense 2.7.2 which works well. The problem is that everytime I reboot the pfSense vm it needs to be reconfigured to use the two physical NICs in the server, one for the WAN and the other, LAN.

It keeps asking if I want to configure the VLANs, which I don't have. I have just removed the VPN configurations in pfSense but it doesn't make any difference.

On the pve network tab it shows two NIC and four eno network devices, two of which are active and autostart. I don't want to delete or change them since the system may not restart.

How can I lock the two network ID's to the WAN and LAN and ignore all of the other WAN options that are available, or pfSense shows that there are, but aren't?

This app used to run on vmWare without any issues on reboot. Now the reboots are an ongoing problem.

Thanks.

Can you please share some screenshots?
Another question (for my knowledge) did you install the pfsense software and configure it afterwards on the console?
The final configuration then is done in the web GUI.

The initial installation of pfSense is via the DOS console and then work done in the GUI. The problem is that on reboot, it will not use the VTNET 0 and 1 without stating that no virtual lans are to be configurated and then it asks for an assignment for 0 and 1.

In the event of a random reboot, access to the LAN remotely will be blocked, since although Proxmox will come back to life, without pfSense working there won't be any access!
