Thank you Patrick and Greg... this helps me envision a general setup, still lots of research to be done!

Thank you for the reply. I am just starting to research how to utilize Proxmox, but my broad conceptualization of this is that the OPNsense router would be between my ISP and the Proxmox.

So the Proxmox would have an IP address on one of the VLANs? All the applications/OS installed on the Proxmox would then utilize the same single IP address? However, if I wanted to have software on Proxmox that monitored overall network activity would I then have to place the Proxmox between the ISP and OPNsense?

Obviously, I am new to this and trying to wrap my head around the general configuration.

I currently have a bare metal instal of opnsense. I would like to add proxmox to my overall setup, but planning the proxmox on a separate bare metal instal on a machine that has more ram, but only one ethernet port.

Is there an issue having the proxmox installed on a PC with only one port? Will there be any configuration issues connecting the two machines, one with opnsense, the other with proxmox?

I have tried to research this but all results come back with a discussion of virtualizing opnsense. My plan is to have two separate bare metal installations.

I am so new to this...any help is appreciated!
