Hello community,
I recently decided to move some "networking services" (dhcp, dns, firewall) from either virtual (within NAS) or physical (ISP box) to a physical "myself managed" box.
So after a testing period of pfSense, I've chosen a minipc powerful enough to handle bandwidth (soon connected to fiber) and vpn (ae-sni instruction set) at the same time (J4125, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 2xRTL8111, Wifi for 160€).
All in one functionalities and gui driven admin provided by proxmox ve were promising to me until... hands on.
OOB management is important for me, especially to be able to do modification safely, so I want the wifi interface use as a management channel, other interfaces (physical and vm's) acting as service channel.
I'm struggling since 4 days making wifi configuration even work, and work as management interface for proxmox gui (after wireless-tools and wpasupplicant installation, something's working mixed wired/unwired : ip linked to wifi is reachable but only when enp1s0 is connected...).
I want a specific networking context for management (ip and routing) with no interference with the other networking contexts (vm/containers, phy, bridges). people familiar with vrf should understand...
My target is :
- Wifi as management interface
- pfSense as WAN2LANs firewall (with PCI-passthru to physical WAN network interface), OpenVPN server, dhcp server and internal DNS
- Adguardhome as internal filtering DNS entrypoint
Anybody able to help me achieve this first step ?
Regard,
F.
P.S. : I think next struggling step will be to understand if there is a philosophy behind /etc/network/interfaces, the gui (one more time), physical interfaces and openvswitch configuration statements) ;(
