Hi all, i. have a fresh Proxmox installation. It works just fine and it connects to internet. But when I try to create a virtual machine using the default creation methods, my virtual machine can't connect to the internet, which makes it unusable. Can anyone help me identify the problem? I have tried everything I know in vain. Screenshot of the configuration of the VM attached. Thank you in advance for the reply. Regards,

You haven't provided enough info to diagnose.

If you're using SDN with Simple zone, you can update your VM hardware with cloud init and assign an ip and gateway, regenerate, and reboot
 
Any documentation about that would be much appreciated as I am a newby in the Proxmox environment. Thank you again for your kind response.
 
Yes, I can ping websites and other IPs including the gateway. In the meantime, I am checking what is an SDN on YouTube. Thank you again for your kind responses.

you may have solved this already but if you can ping websites, then the problem may be DNS resolution or your firewall is blocking port 443. The following may reveal the issue:

# Should return the ip address or DNS is broken
dig google.com

# Should work if firewall isn't blocking port 80
curl 142.250.179.238

# Should work if DNS is working and port 443 isn't blocked
curl https://google.com
