Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. I'm getting a laptop with AMD7940hs, 64GiB RAM, etc.
2. I want to run Proxmox as a hypervisor, then add:
2.1. OpenWRT VM for routing (multiple VPNs, x-ray/v2ray, etc etc)
2.2. A Windows-11 VM for display/graphics/more, running an X11 client, and some Linux VMs for sensitive stuff.
3. I want all network access to be managed by the VM running OpenWRT. I will assign all Ethernet, as well as WiFi, hardware to it and let it manage everything, so Proxmox effectively won't have access to any real networking.
4. I will create a virtual bridge that all other VMs will use to access the network.
5. I will assign Proxmox a dummy address within my virtual LAN managed by OpenWRT.
Now for the question:
What do I need to do inside Proxmox to make it all work? Set up a firewall to block everything?
P.S. No, I don't want to use Qubes, I really hate it too much
UPD: Got my answer - I don't assign an IP address to vmbr0, assign an IP to vmbr9999 from the 'LAN' pool of my router, and set 'gateway' to the address of my router.
