  • I was wondering what's the wacomanded amount of debotated WAN to run a proxmox server

  • I was thinking of creating a PVE VM of OPNsense and connecting it to my cable modem. However I'd like to use HA which means both VMs would need a WAN connection and my ISP only supplies one DHCP IP. Do you know how I can connect both VM's to one ISP IP address? Your video on creating a pfsense VM with two vmbr's was really good.

  • Really helpful and it's running.
    I have the following scenario in planning, perhaps you guys can tell me what you think about.
    I want to separate my lan from my iot device/Homeassistant lan and WLAN.
    So I set up a proxmox with two lan nics one to my lan and the other to the iot lan. In the iot lan there is a fritzbox which provides dhcp with an other subnet mask than the productive lan and a access point for the iot wlan.
    my test with pfsense was to set the WAN to the productive lan and the LAN to the iot lan. As far as I tested it works well. The devices in iot lan can communicate between and a linux in this iot lan couldn't access the internet
    so far so good – what do you think, is this a "good" principle?

  • Thanks so much for the great explanation. I have been getting alot of things setup lately with proxmox.

    I have opnsense virtualised on my proxmox host. I was wondering how the best way is to backup the opnsense VM. Because it is actually the only router in my system, trying to backup to a NAS on the network being controlled by the opnsense VM seems implausible if the opnsense VM needs to be stopped to do the full backup. Is my only option to use a USB flash drive connected to the proxmox host ?

  • Great video and visualizations. Could you please make a video about setting up Opnsense on bare metal for use as a home router and firewall?

  • Thanks. Now I'll go off and have a look at entangle. Or is it untangle? Haven't heard of it before.

  • Awesome video! I think a mind map diagram would have been a nice touch after the connection demo in the beginning, just for a clearer picture.

  • after i seen those boxes i started to grasp the idea of what's actually going on in proxmox, although I still don't understand if i can use the same Ethernet port both for managing and for LAN, because I only have 3 ports in the server for WAN, LAN and Access Point.

  • How can we connect wireless access points to virtual router? also with different vlan and ssids ?

  • Thank you, but question – what function does untangle perform? Do you need untangle on top of pfsense when running in proxmox in this way? Thanks.

  • The biggest issue with most of these guides is that these guys know so much more than the first time newbie and they don’t explain things in simple newbie ways. Anyone who is new to all this cannot understand what this guy is doing. If you do know what he’s saying then you don’t really need to be watching these videos anyways. So basically it’s somewhat useless.

  • Dude as was said before. You physical demo was fire. Helped me understand a lot more clearly what is going on. Thank you‼🔥😃

  • I really wish I had found your channel a week or two ago. You're so much better at actually teaching than many of the other channels around. I really hope you know how important a skill teaching can be, and I hope you find a way in your life to leverage it!

  • Genius way to explain it ! Thanks!

  • I just wanted to thank you for the video. I have recently started to dive back into networking and I wanted to setup a pfSense. This video helped me see the things I was missing when I was attempting to set it up. Great job, dude!

  • Very great Tutorial! Thank you!

  • Man, you are the best explaining stuff. Your channel was really a great discovery. Keep on the same way
