<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Adam,<br>
<br>
We have such an installation and Proxmox works fine, given the
limitations of the underlying hardware (most notable are the
disks).<br>
<br>
For the firewall you can use a dedicated VM or also the native
proxmox (hypervisor kernel) iptables. We use iptables on the
hypervisor, managed by the Firewall Builder front-end, and are
quite happy with it.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>

<div>I'm interested in experimenting with Poroxmox using a
single node for experimentation. Specifically I'm interested
in using it on a single lowish end colo box: Ivy Bridge, Intel
Xeon E3 1245v2, 4 cores, 8 threads running 3.4 GHz (including
VT-x and VT-d), 32 GB of memory, 2 x 3 TB SATA drives (soft
RAID only), gigabit Ethernet, and the possibility of multiple
IPs at a monthly cost.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My primary question is that I don't need all my VMs or
containers to have private IPs, I assume port forwarding
should work in the majority of cases. My thought was to use
one dedicated public IP for management of the Proxmox instance
and one or more IPs for various services, off-site backup, web
serving, VPN, DNS, VoIP, etc. Does this setup sound tenable?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One thing I'm a bit foggy on is where the firewall and
forwarding is managed. Are all the rules setup in the Proxmox
host or do I route the non-management IPs to a dedicated
firewall VM (I use pfSense in various places) and distribute
IPs and forward ports them from their (that seems a little
convoluted).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your help. One day I do hope to expand my
Proxmox install to a cluster where I can get full use of its
capabilities.</div>
