      @Papa_Dragon okay to clarify

      1. swap promox to pfsense LAN gateway?

      2. swap dns using nano /etc/resolv.conf (done)

      3. change IPv4 tcp protocol to TCP/UDP?

      i tried for the caveman drawing, sorry if its bad

      this is the written version of what i have set up

      1. internet>modem (in bridge mode) then from there 2 port NIC card (pfsense WAN and LAN interfaces) enp6s0f0 is made into WAN LAN is enp6s0f1 same NIC. there are 3 bridges in total and they go as follows:

      vmbr0=eno1 (OG 4 port NIC)

      vmbr1= enp6s0f0 (pcie NIC)

      vmbr2= enp6s0f1 (pcie NIC

      1. then on that same NIC, i have the LAN going off to my network switch. done.

      2. the OG port for Proxmox is eno1 (not a "0" btw) that is hooked up to the network switch. done

      so total 2 ethernet cords that are currently in my switch.

      how i started/set up my VM on Proxmox

      shaw modem is not in bridge mode

      -named it pfSense

      -chosen my hardware, ram, cpu cores, then on the networking page i said no, to default vmbr0 and opted to choose my own

      • hit finish

      • went over to hardware tab on VM and input vmbr1 (WAN) vmbr2(LAN) i even labeled them to not get things messed up

      -made sure to hit boot at start

      -booted it up

      -then when it asked me for Vlan i said no

      -then opted for me to choose an interface. WAN is as stated earlier same for LAN

      • hit 2 on the pf boot menu

      -set my own LAN ip address for pfSense

      -proceeded to add a range for pfSense for my LAN

      now what is on the switch (if its important) is as follows

      • I have the pfsense LAN

      • Proxmox eno1

      • a wifi router to get wifi in my house

      • smart lights

      • PS5

      what i have set up on my pfsense firewall

      WAN

      nothing

      LAN

      -i have a portforward for a game server for my friends and I

      • i also have those "proxmox management"

      • DNS

      and other things in that photo

      this is everything, i hope this clarifys things a little.

      i apolozige that you need to repeat yourself its just a little over my head and the way i learn or at least know what to do is by a list of things like what i typed. so for example if i created a new LAN rule, it helps me understand if i know what to put. so it goes like this

      interface: LAN

      protocol: any

      source : blah blah

      and so on and so forth

          @Papa_Dragon i got it up and running!!!!

          So heres what I got done. I double-checked everything to make sure it was all up and running.

          for anyone reading this issue

          Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of the process, divided into sections:

          Proxmox Setup:

          Set up Linux bridges:

          Create two Linux bridges: vmbr1 and vmbr2.
          Assign enp6s0f0 to vmbr1 and enp6s0f1 to vmbr2.
          Set up the VM:

          Install the desired operating system in the VM.
          During the VM creation process, choose "No network device" as the network configuration.
          Configure VM settings:
          Go to the VM's options and enable the "Start at boot" option.

          pfSense Setup:

          Set up WAN and LAN interfaces:

          Configure the WAN interface of pfSense to connect to the modem in bridge mode.
          Assign enp6s0f0 as the WAN interface.
          Assign enp6s0f1 as the LAN interface.

          Configure firewall rules:

          Create appropriate firewall rules to allow desired traffic between WAN and LAN.

          Network Setup:

          Assign IP addresses:

          Set the LAN IP range for pfSense
          Set the gateway for vmbr0 (OG 4 port NIC) to LAN gateway make sure its the LAN

          Set static IP for Proxmox:

          Configure the Proxmox server with the static IP address 10.0.0.15 (or any available IP within the IP range you set).
          Use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
          and set the default gateway to the LAN.

          Connect your computer to the LAN side of pfSense (aka Switch):

          Pluged my computer into one of the ports on the network switch connected to the LAN side of pfSense.

          Configure your computer's IP address:

          this is where i had issues!!!!!!!!

          i had to Set your computer's IP address to be within the same network range as the Proxmox server.
          Assign an IP address of 10.0.0.xx
          Use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
          gateway: LAN of pfSense

            I told you repeatedly, even drew an ugly looking diagram because I didn't want to spend valuable time with a network fancy diagram...wow! Glad you finally got it.
