Currently, I have installed PVE (Proxmox Virtual Environment) on a PC with the management address set to 192.168.3.254:8006. Additionally, I have installed a virtual machine running OpenWRT (192.168.3.253). However, I'm unable to access the PVE management address from the external network. I have set up port forwarding on my physical router for both PVE and OpenWRT, mapping port 80 and 8006 to 30000 and 30001, respectively. Despite this, I find that I can't access the PVE management interface using http/https:external IP:30001, but I can access the OpenWRT management interface using http/https:external IP:30000. I've turned off all firewalls on PVE, but this hasn’t resolved the issue. Please help, thank you.
 
Hey,

how is the external network connected to PVE, is it on the same bridge as the VMs, or is it on a separate interface? Make sure the forwarding rule is setup with the correct IP. Can you ping the router(with the forwarding rules) from your PVE host?

This is the network topology of my home. Within the internal network, I can access the PVE management interface on my PC via 192.168.3.254:8006. External network refers to accessing the PC devices located in my home network from my office or using a mobile phone. I have set up two port mappings on the main router, but only one of them is effective.

Can you ping the router(with the forwarding rules) from your PVE host? "I'll try it later."
