I have a Dell PowerEdge T430 that I'd like to set up as a Proxmox host. I intend for it to be my router, among other things. Since I want the pfSense VM to be the gateway, I've set it up without connecting it to my modem, but now I can't connect to the web GUI. It just times out. I'd appreciate any help.
[SOLVED] Web GUI not accessible

What does
cat /var/network/interfaces on your PVE host return?Whats your LAN subnet and whats the LAN IP of your pfsense VM?
Do you use any vlans?
Usually you would give your PVE node a free static IP of your LAN subnet and then set the pfsenses LAN IP ad the PVE nodes gateway and DNS server. That way your LAN clients can connect to the PVE webUI no matter if the pfsense VM is running or not. Your PVE host just won't be able to access the internet (so no updates possible) when your pfsense VM is shut down.

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eno2 inet manual
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.0.3/24
gateway 192.168.1.254 #my modem/router, added after no success, didn't help
bridge-ports eno2
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
iface eno1 inet manual
#more ethernet ports here192.168.0.0/24
I don't have one yet, because I can't get to the web GUI.
I don't think so. I literally just set up Proxmox, so I'm on the installer defaults.

Which webUI isn't accessible? PVE, pfsense or both?
That won't work as the gateway is outside of your defined subnet.
Usually you would setup your pfsenses LAN IP first by accessing the PVE webUI, then opening a NoVNC connection to you pfsense VM to get access to the pfsenses console. From there you would use the CLI to do the basic setup of your pfsense. As soon as you gave the pfsense a LAN IP in the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet you should be able to access the webUI from a client that is also part of that subnet.
