    The Proxmox machine is a server. It's never a good idea to have a dynamic IP on a server, of course.

    The Proxmox host machine should have a static IP in the LAN where also your management PC has an IP. So there's no need to have the virtualized firewall up and working to get access to the host machine.

    @gjaltemba thx for your response.

    I finally solve it, i'm using this script:

    #!/bin/bash

    Setup network namespace with veth pair, start xterm in it nsterm ns0 veth0 10.0.0 yellow 24

    if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
    echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2
    exit 1
    fi

    NS=${1:-ns0}
    DEV=${2:-veth0}
    DEV_A=${DEV}a
    DEV_B=${DEV}b
    ADDR=${3-:10.0.0}
    ADDR_A=${ADDR}.254
    ADDR_B=${ADDR}.1
    MASK=${5:-24}
    COL=${4:-yellow}

    echo ns=$NS dev=$DEV col=$COL mask=$MASK

    ip netns add $NS
    ip link add $DEV_A type veth peer name $DEV_B netns $NS
    ip addr add $ADDR_A/$MASK dev $DEV_A
    ip link set ${DEV}a up
    ip netns exec $NS ip addr add $ADDR_B/$MASK dev $DEV_B
    ip netns exec $NS ip link set ${DEV}b up
    ip netns exec $NS ip route add default via $ADDR_A dev $DEV_B
    ip netns exec $NS su -c "xterm -bg $COL &" USER

    When i do "dhclient veth0a" i receive ip address from pfsense, and i can finally route all traffic throught pfsense

    @Derelict:

    If CARP won't work neither will VRRP. They use essentially the same network functions, including the same multicast address etc.

    Not sure what you are seeing on XenServer 7 but CARP works just fine in XenServer 6.

    Hmm… this and other threads https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=122588.0
    Suggest that they function differently. Where as CARP uses a multicast MAC VRRP uses a single virtual unicast MAC?
    Either way, I can confirm that the keepalived vrrp implementation works in my environment so I'm hopeful that freevrrp will work as well.

    Are/Were you using OVS on XenServer6? The  network switch default backend is bridge mode..

    @vc6SfV8:

    Following back up on this - I successfully installed pfSense today on Linode.

    Follow the directions here: https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/custom-kernels-distros/install-freebsd-on-linode

    In step 5, replace the curl command with the following:

    curl -k https://nyifiles.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/pfSense-CE-memstick-serial-2.3.1-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

    Everything else works beautifully. :)

    Hi, I followed your tips however during during the botting of Installer Profile I am getting this error

    "Cannot Direct Disk boot a disk with no MBR: Linode Configuration Profile problems detected. "

    Any ideas on how to solve this?

    Thank you.

    Awesome, great to hear that the pesky vmware tools message is going to disappear. I should be carrying out the upgrade soon after backing up my ESXi host.

    It's quite interesting that Jim uses ESXi… Maybe that's why it's been so stable for me  ::) ::) ::)

    It depends. If it's something where performance doesn't really matter (like my lab) I find it easier to just install, boot to single user, add hw.xen.disable_pv_nics=1 to /boot/loader.conf.local, reboot, and configure the re NICs.

    My understanding is that the console is only accessible via your 'very secure' vultr username & password?

    So while it's a potential risk, it shouldn't be a major problem during setup & provisioning.

    But definitely appreciate the link for securing this.

    Do you have any feedback on pfsense on Vultr, long-term?

    I am running symmetric gig and not using pci-pass through with no issues. I am using a 7 year old Xeon thats barely supported by ESXI anymore, and allowed the VM to have 4 vcpu's. This is probably close to your newer i5. When I am fully saturating the link i get 30-40% useage. Your milage may vary as well depending on what network card your using. I'm using a server grade dual intel NIC that handles just about everything on board.

    The only real reason anymore to allow anything to use passthrough is using some storage software. When you virtualize storage devices they like to have full control over the bare metal devices, networking not so much.
