Not being able to install in Proxmox / OVH, WAN gateway out of scope.
-
I’m trying to install pfSense on an OVH dedicated server running Proxmox.
OVH provides “failover” public IPs, but the default gateway (203.xxx.xxx.254) is always outside the subnet of the assigned IP.For example:
WAN IP: 198.xxx.xxx.25/32
Gateway: 203.xxx.xxx.254 (different network)In Linux this is handled with a route entry such as on-link: true in netplan.
However, the pfSense console installer does not allow configuring a gateway that is out of scope of the WAN IP, so the installation cannot continue through the console wizard.
How can pfSense be installed in OVH with Proxmox when the gateway IP is out of the scope of the WAN IP? I tried the Web GUI and the issue is the same.
Thanks for your help.

@Salva_F use the search, Luke: OVH - cannot set wan interface default gateway.
TL;DR: the online installer does not allow you to set a remote gateway (yet).
Your best option is to install pfSense CE 2.7.2 (find the offline installer here: https://atxfiles.netgate.com/mirror/downloads/) and upgrade from there to 2.8.1.

Thanks, that was one of my options .. but I wanted to be sure that I was not missing anything.
