VM Ports blocked from local network but not from Proxmox host

I've been having an issue where various VMs become spontaneously unreachable from local machines, but are still reachable from proxmox itself. I don't have any firewall turned on in proxmox or the VMs, but it's acting as if there is one. I can't make heads or tails of this -- it just starts on its own and, in at least one case, fixed itself on its own after ~24 hours.

Here is an example. On the VM, ports 22 and 8123 are being listened on.
From an external local machine:

Code:
> nmap 192.168.0.8 -p 22,23,25,8123,80
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-09-08 13:39 PDT
Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.8
Host is up (0.0056s latency).

PORT     STATE    SERVICE
22/tcp   filtered ssh
23/tcp   filtered telnet
25/tcp   filtered smtp
80/tcp   closed   http
8123/tcp filtered polipo

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.25 seconds

From Proxmox:
Code:
> nmap 192.168.0.8 -p 22,23,25,8123,80
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-09-08 13:42 PDT
Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.8
Host is up (0.00075s latency).

PORT     STATE  SERVICE
22/tcp   open   ssh
23/tcp   closed telnet
25/tcp   closed smtp
80/tcp   closed http
8123/tcp open   polipo

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.15 seconds

This has happened with multiple VMs, though they are all DietPi machines.

Details:
Host
Proxmox VE 7.2-7
Running Debian 11 (bullseye)

Clients
DietPi v8.8.1
Running Debian 11 (bullseye)

Host and clients are all on the same ethernet interface on a ProtectLi box
