proxmox pfsense with two ip's setup via pfsense
-
Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a Proxmox server with two IP addresses: one for the server/Proxmox UI (IP A Used for reference as didn't want to share it), and another for my VMs (IP B). To save money on IPs, I'm using a pfSense VM as a router/firewall between the two networks.
Here's what I've done so far:
I've set up two network bridges in Proxmox, vmbr0 and vmbr1.
vmbr0 is linked to the server's eno1 network device and has the server IP and gateway (IP A/24 and IP A's gateway).
vmbr1 is not linked to any network device and has the VM IP (IP B/24) as well as the server IP as gateway (IP A).
I've created a pfSense VM with two network devices, one linked to vmbr0 (WAN) and the other to vmbr1 (LAN).
However, I'm having trouble accessing the pfSense web UI at IP B. I've disabled the pfSense firewall, but I still get a "connection refused" error. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this and make it work?Thanks in advance for your help!
P.s the server is located in a datecenter so I have no local access to it accept for the access I have via proxmox.

Sorry I forgot to mention, I am wanting to run a set of vm's from ubuntu to windows instead of purchasing a ip for each machine (as its in a datacenter for the time being while I move things around at home). I didn't want to purchase a ip for each one. Instead I am aware I can run pfsense to bridge to give NAT to the other VMs.

Not clear, what you try to achieve with this. A single IP can only be assigned to a single device. So you cannot use IP B for multiple VMs.
You can assign it to pfSense as its best and forward different port to different VMs. But obviously you didn't do this.Are these single public IPs?
vmbr0 is linked to the server's eno1 network device and has the server IP and gateway (IP A/24 and IP A's gateway).
This let me assume, you're talking about a subnet.

Reading between the lines I expect to see no IP address on vmbr1.
IP B should be assigned to the pfSense WAN directly.
I assume IP A and IP B are in the same public /24.
