Hey everyone,

I've just installed Proxmox VE 4.4 and everything works fine. I enabled the Proxmox Firewall on every Level (Datacenter, controller node and VM) and it doesn't do anything. If I block everything (Input, DROP, etc...) and/or block specific macros it doesn't affect the VM. The Firewall Service is enabled and running. Iptables are working fine.
 
Yes, i enabled it also on the VM Network interface. I used also Proxmox VE 5 which i thought what was the reason for the problem, but now its not working either. Is there a Log where i could see a information why it's not working?
 
What is the output of

# pve-firewall status

Also

# pve-firewall compile

should show any problems, and you can show resulting iptable rules with

# iptables -L
 
pve-firewall status shows that the Firewall is enabled/running
pve-firewall compile shows that there are no changes were made

I cant find any changes made to iptables if i add a new rule to the controller, datacenter or to a vm
