Hello Guys,

I have Proxmox 7.1 installed, but I can't add any of my SMB storage.
The storage in this case is provided by the hosting provider over the internet, and I have the feeling that Proxmox won't look up WAN addresses?
I have tried adding a NFS and another SMB storage before, (definitely reachable from the internet!) but it never worked.

Is there some way to let Proxmox search for storage outside the local network aswell?

It normally should work fine, if the gateway, DNS and routes are configured correctly. Proxmox can get Proxmox VE and Debian updates from the internet unless your configuration is broken. What are the outputs of apt update, cat /etc/network/interface, ip a and ip r? What is the local subnet used by your router (to connect to the internet)?

It does not search, you need to configure the storage (correctly) instead. And it is not limited to the local network unless something is not setup correctly.

PS: Since you have not updated your Proxmox VE to the latest 7.2, I assume your network setup is incorrect.

EDIT: Turns out that I was completely wrong about the situation and have no clue about what could be causing this issue.

What is the local subnet used by your router (to connect to the internet)?
Click to expand...
I don't use an extra router (that is in my control), connecting Proxmox to the internet. I just use the WAN IPv4 interface my cloud provider gave me.

Since you have not updated your Proxmox VE to the latest 7.2, I assume your network setup is incorrect.

I did not see any bugfixes in the release-notes from 7.1-11to 7.2 indicating a fix of SMB/NFS shares, so I don't really see how an update (which completely broke things for me already in the past so I have to backup the whole system first, have downtime etc.) would help my problem.
