      Hi, I am newb and stuck on something very basic. I have Proxmox up and running and pfsense installed virtually.
      Currently my connection are as follows
      WAN(via ISP modem)--->ASUS Router---->16 port unmanaged switch--->to various devices and access points including unRaid Server and ProxMox machine(4 port 2.5G device using intel I225 RevC)

      I installed 2.7 pfSense on Proxmox and configured the two ports, WAN on vrmb0(the LAN connection to proxmox box) and other adjacent NIC port as LAN, I have the install just fine and I can browse to my local pfsense IP.

      Now I want to have it production ready and remove ASUS router from the chain and have pfsense do all the routing in my setup, which port do I connect the wire off from my ISP modem to Proxmox box? Will it be even possible or do I need to have a standalone device running pfSense instead of virtualized platform?

      Again, sorry for the newb question, I am just stuck and cant figure it out..

        Connect the WAN to the ISP router.
        Assign Proxmox an IP on the LAN side and remove that one from WAN.
