      I am new to proxmox and Pfsense but I have managed to add a /28 subnet, and install Pfsense on KVM relatively "easy".

      One of the IPs of the subnet is assigned on a Proxmox bridge and (vmbr1) works ok.
      On proxmox I also have the following bridge (with no IP):

      –
      auto vmbr3
      iface vmbr3 inet manual
          bridge_ports none
          bridge_stp off
          bridge_fd 0

      The proxmox kvm has 2 NICs, one connected to vmbr1 (as WAN) and the other to vmbr3 (as LAN, 192.168.0.1)

      If I create another KVM, and connect it to vmbr3 then I have a happily working KVM behind the Pfsense.

      What I want to achieve however (and I can't!) is to create VLANs behind Pfsense.
      My problem is not creating the VLANs inside Pfsense but on how to connect the different kvms on those VLANs!

      I have followed this tutorial up to the point that the author makes changes on the switch :
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nf_XsmMmWo

      Pfsense shows WAN, LAN, VLAN1 and VLAN2.
      The mystery is how to attach KVMs on VLAN1 & VLAN2!!!

      I am assuming here that something needs to be done on the proxmox network and can't figure what (and possibly how) as I exhausted my knowledge!

      Can someone please heeeeelp?  :'(
