Hi, I’m new to this topic and I’m planning on building my own home lab. I want to build one server with proxmox and pfsense in a VM. Do I need a multiport network card or is the single port on the motherboard sufficient for creating VLANs?

Not all NICs are VLAN capable AFAIK.
But as another Redditor mentioned, being new to this and virtualising your only/main router sounds like a headache waiting to happen.
I don’t think I’ve come across a NIC in the last 15 years that hasn’t been VLAN capable.
It’s probably not a thing anymore.
