Proxmox & pfSense VM management subnet?

[Kiwiana]

I installed Proxmox on a box with 4x intel 226 NICs.
ETH0 is the one I use as management port for Proxmox and is currently not visible pfSense VM
EHT1 is the WAN port.
ETH2 is the NSFW_LAN port having all IOT, Media players etc. devices
ETH3 is currently unused which I need for future expansion.

To separate my work PC critical devices I use 2 subnets. 192.168.0.1/24 as my Work/Management network and 192.168.1.1/24 as my NSFW_LAN network. The idea is now to make ETH0 also available in pfSense VM for the Work/Management LAN. Is that the easiest way to do it or are there issues I don't see? And if so how do I do it? Do I have to make vmbr0 available in pfSense VM rather than ETH0?

Alternatively I could tag ports to VLANs in the GS716T switch but I'd like to keep it as simple as possible and if I don't need VLANs...one thing less to worry about.

A virtual NIC? Sorry haven't done this before...

from your drawing - the pfsense is an own device - correct ?

It's a n5105 box with 4 NICs running Proxmox and pfSense is a VM on this Proxmox

What do you have as the gateway for the NIC on the win PC ? The gateway on 0.8 win pc should be etho ip address and 1.8 eth2 ip address.

yeah it will be, but I'm more wondering about making eth0 available in pfSense and then create a firewall rule there that this network can only access the admin interface?

Oh well, after I made the Proxmox management port available as PCI in the pfSense VM I can't log in at Proxmox anymore.
Can I undo that somehow or how can I reach Proxmox now? THIS is what I was worried about...
