Nuked my homelab server.. Reinstall Proxmox 7.4 and PfSense

Excellent, It helped me where I needed to be. Appreciated!

If you're going to set up bridges for each of your nics, why not pass through the network cards directly to the pfsense vm so that you can take advantage of interface process offloading (instead of doing it in software)?

[@brockhard]

I was trying to get that to work but was having a hard time. I'll have to revisit it and check it out. Although I am looking to make a dedicated machine for pfsense and we probably move it off proxmox sometime soon

@@brockhard depending on what you want it to do for you, there are many advantages to using a pfsense on proxmox setup to handle traffic on your proxmox machine or cluster, especially if you set up vlans. - there's no physical interface bottleneck if you keep your vlans on the proxmox setup. (I have a border router that unfortunately has 2.5g interfaces but my proxmox cluster (and most of the other devices on my wired network are 10g) so I use pfsense on the proxmox cluster to handle routing of all my internal vlan traffic (both physical lan and proxmox lan) and let the baremetal pfsense box handle all my border traffic. to keep my 2g fiber internet snappy (and reduce the complexity at the border). I'm currently building out this setup.
