I have installed proxmox recently and having trouble in configuring network bridges. This is my configuration.

Proxmox: Bridge - vmbr0 IP: 192.168.22.254/24 Gateway: 192.168.22.1

I have one pfsense VM. The IP of pfsense VM is 192.168.22.1 (pfsense LAN interface is vmbr0). I have added one more bridge for pfsense vmbr1 and mapped WAN physical port to it. Everything works fine.

But when I add second VM to vmbr0 with static IP and gateway as pfsense LAN IP I could not access internet from second VM. I have tried everything !

When I remove the address and gateway in vmbr0 I could not access proxmox web gui. Then I changed it back from console.

When I have not set any gateway IP in vmbr0 (only address as 192.168.22.254) I could access internet from second VM!!!! Any idea why ?

EDIT: I have tried adding two separate bridges (WAN and LAN) for pfsense. but only containers inside bridges seem to communicate. How to route traffic from one bridge to another?
