Bind proxmox Inteface to a specifi IP

To achieve this setup — where Proxmox’s web interface on port 8006 is only accessible via one specific NIC and not the other — you need to bind the Proxmox web GUI to a specific IP address.

Here’s how you can do that:

🔧 Steps to Bind Port 8006 and 3128(spice) to a Specific NIC/IP

  1. Identify the NIC/IPs: Run: bashCopyEditip a Let’s assume:
    • NIC1 (management): 192.212.5.245 — this should allow port 8006
    • NIC2 (isolated): 10.10.10.10 — this should block port 8006
  2. Edit Proxmox Web GUI service config: Open this file: bashCopyEditnano /etc/default/pveproxy
  3. Bind it to a specific IP (management interface): Find or add the line: LISTEN_IP="192.212.5.245"
  4. Restart the pveproxy service: systemctl restart pveproxy and systemctl restart spiceproxy This change will make the Proxmox GUI listen only on 192.212.5.245, and not on all interfaces.

✅ Optional: Confirm It’s Working

You can test by running:

ss -tuln | grep 8006

You should see:

LISTEN  0  50  192.212.5.245:8006  ...

And not 0.0.0.0:8006 or 10.10.10.10:8006.
