      FYI: My board got 2x 1G and 2x 10G ports.

      I would definitely use one of the 10G for pfSense WAN set for vtnet0 connected directly to your ISP modem. Once you assigned say ens2f0 to vtnet0, you don't need to passthrough the entire NIC, just plug the cable from your ISP and it will automatically passthrough...same goes for LAN if you have an external switch, do the same as you did with WAN and connect Proxmox's management port to the switch...you would have one port available for whatever you want.

      You will get the best benefits of the processor features, when using host type. This passes all the features of the processor through to the VM, while KVM64 provides only a small amount of common features. For instance, KVM64 doesn't make use of AES-NI, even if your host CPU supports it.

      with kvm64 you can set extra cpu flags though, including AES. All via proxmox gui.
