[PVE-User] Advice on setting up a L2TP VPN on Proxmox.

Hello,

I've got a Proxmox server, and I'm wanting to use an A&A L2TP VPN[0] on
the Proxmox host.

I'm unsure how to set this up in `/etc/network/interfaces`, as I
primarily use NetworkManager on NixOS.

I was thinking of running pfSense/opnSense in a VM, and then connecting
my VMs and LXC containers behind it. The reason I'm using a L2TP VPN is
because the hosting company don't offer IPv6 without a block of IPv4 IPs,
and I think that's overkill. All I need is one IPv6 block and one IPv4
address.

My desired setup would be:

WAN <==> L2TP VPN <==> Proxmox host <==> Firewall VM 
                                          |         |
                                    VMs  <=>       <=> LXC

Is this possible?

Best wishes,

Yes, that is something I hadn't considered. I'll look into that.

However, what does 'rtr'/'utm' mean? Btw, you didn't post this to the
list, so I've cc'd the list in this reply.

Thank you for your help, I'll look into it. I've also cross-posted my
question on the forum as well, for visiblity[1].
