I'm running OpenWRT on Proxmox VM and so far everything are going fine but the Mini PC got only 1 ethernet port and I heard people say that have both WAN and LAN on single port make internet speed become lower than it should be so I decided to get a Gigabit Ethernet to USb 3.0 (UE300) but I don't really know how to make WAN go on one port and LAN go on another, So if someone can help me with configuration I'll be really grateful! If you need anymore information about my VM feel free to ask
 
You could add another bridge. So you get one for WAN and one for LAN. Then add a virtual NIC to each of the bridges for your OpenWRT VM.
 
You can either use vlan-aware bridges and then use "VLAN tag" for your virtual NICs or alternatively you can put a VLAN interface in front of your non-vlan-aware bridges.
