Hello everyone,
for some reasons that are easy to image I need to run a VM for the first time with a date on the future, like 1 or 2 to years ahead.

On proxmox gui:
- I've created new vm without start it after creation
- Replace fake disk with downloaded VM disk
- Options --> Use local time for RTC --> NO
- Options --> RTC start date --> 2023-06-17T16:00:01
- Start VM for the first time

However, I don't know how, the VM have the real date and time.
I'm quite sure that there is no way to reach ntp servers and so on. Also the OS running in this VM says: "last ntp sync: never".

Do you know how can I force this behavior?
