      Hi!

      Last weeks I have problems with my pfsense old HP Netserver E800 hardware. It freeezees.
      So yesterday I created virtual router with pfsense in Proxmox virtualization software.
      Theoretically it would fit me, because I don't have need very fast network and so on, but the thing is - pfsense shows a lot of collisions.
      Is it ok? Can I leave it that way or virtual router isn't good idea?
      I have another virtualization server with vmware. Is it worth to try install virtual router in vmware?

      Thanks in advance!

      Toms

          Better to ask this in the virtualization sub forum.

            Are the NICs showing as half duplex under Status>interfaces? If so, that would be normal. Not very familiar with proxmox on whether that's typical with it.

              Nop, it shows full duplex.
              But it is strange, because WAN shows 1000 mb/s. But Lan, Wifi and Voip shows just 100mb/s. Server has just one physical network card. I know, that it is not good, but it should work….

                Add second network card (use just one nic not correct) or try to change hypervisor to vmware vsphere 5.

                  Hi, you must use the e1000 nics in proxmox. Runs here without trouble.
                  Pfsense used 6 nics with the e1000 drivers, uptime are 70 days, transfered more then 150 GB over alle nics, without one collision.
