Great video. I’ve never used the proxmox firewall before because I didn’t bother learning it and I have a good firewall on my network itself. Since your video has made it so simple to understand I’m going to work on implementing it in my proxmox environment

Best video I've found! I was struggling the last few hours and watched multiple videos and read multiple how-tos. I should have found your video first! 11 minutes and I was done and successful! Thanks, man!

Dude you're a rockstar....I've been watching your videos and they've been very helpful with me setting up my proxmox home lab. Please keep up the great work and don't stop!

[JasonL]

The instruction in this video is terrific! He shows both sides of dropping and accepting rules. Very few actually show this. Plus how to undo it WHEN you make a mistake (Because you will)

Great video! Thank you for your hard work.

WTF, I never see in whole life so good explanation of firewalls... "Datacenters setting" and so on... Thank You!

[rogereppich]

Fantastic explanation of how it works, in bite size steps.

Awesome Video! I’ve always struggled with the Proxmox Wiki, but thanks to this video, I finally understood how firewall rules work in Proxmox right away. Thank you for creating this video! I’d be thrilled to see more videos on the topic of Proxmox. I’ve already hit the subscribe button and the notification bell! 😊👍

one thing,
in 10:35 you set 22 for the vm, but actually it was already accepted in the datacenter.
so the settings in data center is applyied for pve but not for the vm.
the vm is indenpended.

@5:41 - firewall rules order:
1. Datacenter
2. PVE
3. VM & LXC

- if i block port 80 at the datacenter, will i be able to access port 80 on a VM?

[abidsaleem]

Thank you for a great video. We have virtualized the compute and storage but virtualization of network is still pending. And there is not any authentic video content on it.
Kindly make a video on SDN.

@1:32 - why did the firewall not block you after enabling the datacenter firewall?
- does the default action to DROP is not use? or just useless?

[fabr]

Can you please help me? My firewall doesn't seems to be working anymore. Sometime ago I've got blocked outside proxmox, and I made these commands: "iptables -F" and "nft flush ruleset". Now if I enable/disable datacenter firewall, I still got access, the same happens with rules withing pve and containers/vm.

2:38 Im locked out and can´t access it anymore. I put monitor and keyboard, giving stop command but not work... Very bad idea test these, better to add before a 22 and 8006 port and then disable all others...
