License question - NIC passthrough instead of VirtIO (Proxmox VE)
-
Hello all,
Just wanted to double check with the community if passing a NIC card directly to a VM instead of using Proxmox virtIO will cause me to lose my pfSense + license.
I recently learned about PCIe Passthrough and would like to isolate the WAN NIC for the pfSense VM so that no other VM can access.
The other VMs only have access to the LAN NIC, but wanted to make sure all traffic is 100% through the LAN and to pfSense. (Paranoid I know! ;) )
I should have passed through the NIC from the start. But being new to Proxmox and pfSense (and + licensing), I didn't know any better! ;)
I'm open to yay or nays about passthrough vs VirtIO changes as well (Pros & Cons). This is just a thought and would put my mind at rest with the community's expertise.
WAN - Intel I226-V 2.5GbE PCIe M.2 A+E NIC <--- Only pfSense VM
LAN - Intel I225-V 2.5GbE HP FlexIO NIC Module <----Proxmox, pfSense VM, TrueNAS VM, UniFi Controller (Self Hosted) VM, and U6-Mesh APThank you for the help!

It likely would change the NDI because pfSense will see that as new hardware. However we can migrate that for you. Send me the NDIs in chat if you have an issue.
