Hello everyone! Can you please tell me if it is possible to combine Proxmox servers into a cluster via external IP? Or only on a local network?

Technically possible, but usually not a good idea. The corosync cluster engine requires a very low-latency link, which can usually only work well over local connections.
If you want to try, it should be as simple as creating the cluster via GUI and testing if it works. Not sure OTOH about routing though, so you might need some VPN layer on top (wireguard?) to "fake" a local LAN network.

Better use s2s VPN and route or bridge nodes. But latency may be a problem.
To clarify the information, I will say. I rent servers on OVH in different data centers, FR and DE. Unfortunately, the budget is limited, and it was not possible to take machines with a private network (vRack). Between their data centers, I do not think that there can be a big delay, but I understand you, you are absolutely right
Thank!
Thank!
