    Hi everyone,

    I have a little problem on one installation.
    Recently i have installed pfsense on proxmox, because i want to try to use the same server for more application.

    The server is the : TOPTON Intel i226V 6x2.5G 12th Gen i3-1215U Intel i226V pfSense Firewall Router 2 xddr5 NVMe Proxmox Mini PC Computer Soft Mini Host
    RAM 16GB
    SSD nvme 250GB

    Actually the pfsense is installed with 2 core, 4gb RAM and 32gb SSD
    enp2s0 -> WAN ( linked to ISP modem - DMZ and non filter or whatever )
    enp3s0 -> LAN-S1
    enp4s0 -> LAN-S2
    enp5s0 -> LAN-O
    The three lan are bridged together.
    I installed pfsense easily and seems work fine for the first days.

    After some time start dropping package on the WAN and lost connection for a few second then come back online and repeat this problem every 3-4 minutes.
    Apparently i have solved this problem changing the IP address of the pfsense WAN ( seems that proxmox use the same ip for a brig connection on this port ).

    Now I have an other problem that i can't figured out :
    After some time pfsense and proxmox freeze and both became unreachable and un-pingable ( on wan and lan side ); the only way to bring the system online again is to restart the server.
    I look at both log but i cant see noting relevant.

    Any one have some ideas ?
    Thx

      So all those NICs are passed through to pfSense? And then the LANs bridged in pfSense?

      When it stops responding can you get onto the Proxmox console and connect out?

        Hi @stephenw10 ; sry dident see the section virtualization

        Exactly, all the NIC are passed trought to pfSense and then bridged in pfSense

        No, also proxmox crash when pfSense crash ( unlikly i don't know witch one stop working first ).
        Proxmox have a dedicated NIC separated form pfSense; i try to ping proxmox on this nic but i have no response ( time out ).
        Is like the server completly disappears; the light on the RJ45 connector are on with some random blinking ( few blinking ).

        Thx

          Hmm, that seems more like a hardware issue in the server then.

          Is it still responsive locally if you connect to the console?

            @stephenw10 I test it today, seems that the server is completly unresponsive.
            No display output, no usb power

            I'm starting to think it really is a hardware issue

              Hard to see how it could be anything else. 😞
