[PVE-User] Can´t ping to the outside - OVH Proxmox 5.3

Hi Miguel,

Your new PVE host 111.222.333.74 needs to have 111.222.333.254 as it's 
default gateway.

The VM's need 111.222.333.74 as their default gateway. This is what 
OVH/SoYouStart requires.

Also if you assign public failover ip addresses to your VM's, then you 
need to generate a mac address for them in the management console of 
soyoustart and assign that mac address to the public interface of the VM.

So consider if you have 16 failover ip addresses in the range 1.2.3.1/28

Then the /etc/network/interfaces of one such vm should be:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
     address 1.2.3.1
     netmask 255.255.255.255
     pre-up /etc/network/firewall $IFACE up
     post-up ip route add 111.222.333.74 dev $IFACE
     post-up ip route add 1.2.3.1/28 dev $IFACE
     post-up ip route add default via 91.121.183.137 dev $IFACE
     post-down ip route del default via 91.121.183.137 dev $IFACE
     post-down ip route del 1.2.3.1/28 dev $IFACE
     post-down ip route del 111.222.333.74 dev $IFACE
     post-down /etc/network/firewall $IFACE down

Best regards,

Stephan
