    Hello

    This is currently my network configuration. I am using my public ip .116 for my PVE e, another public ip .118 as a NAT network for my VMs. The public ip .118 is connected to the firewall as WAN and the firewall then controls all the traffic. Now on the firewall I would like to also add the public ip address .100 as an extra WAN interface but that doesn't work because those ip's overlap because of have subnet (the subnetmasks are /26).

    Code:
    source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    iface lo inet6 loopback

    auto enp41s0
    iface enp41s0 inet manual

    auto vmbr0
    iface vmbr0 inet static
    address x.x.x.116/26
    gateway x.x.x.65
    bridge-ports enp41s0
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0

        up route add -net x.x.x.64 netmask 255.255.255.192 gw x.x.x.65 dev vmbr0
    

    auto vmbr1
    iface vmbr1 inet static
    address 172.16.x.2/24
    bridge-ports none
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0

    Now I would still like to have the .118 and .100 both as WAN interface in my firewall. With what adjustments in the network configuration does this work? Should I create a separate bridge with /32 for both ip's or not? I am new to Proxmox so it is still a bit of a search.

      Why want you have the second IP on an additional interface? Simply assign it to WAN as a virtual IP.

      Since both need to communicate with the gateway, you need to state the correct mask for both. That's not gonna to work on different interfaces.

        Yes, I am trying that in but I think it goes wrong somewhere it the MAC addresses because I set it VirtualIP but it does not work.
