Hello everyone,
I am currently considering using Proxmox as virtualization for a Sophos XG, but also for internal Windows systems.
I want to use a mini PC as hardware, which has two network interfaces in addition to WLAN.
My plan is to use LAN 1 as a connection to the modem, i.e. externally. LAN 2 is to be the connection to the WAN port of the Fritz! The virtual Sophos XG should route and protect from LAN 1 to LAN 2.
The WLAN interface is to be connected to the WLAN of the Fritz!
I would like to manage Proxmox via the internal WLAN interface.
Does my plan work so far? Is the Proxmox visible and vulnerable from the Internet via the direct connection to LAN 1?

Thank you very much.
