My new book Proxmox Firewall Understand Activate Isolate offers a comprehensive introduction to Proxmox VE 8’s firewall topic, aimed at everyone who wants to protect their Proxmox environment from unauthorized access and threats. Configuring the firewall in Proxmox requires not only knowledge of network security but also an understanding of the specific levels on which the firewall operates: Datacenter, Node, and VM-CT firewalls. In this book, I explain these different levels and show you how to create a secure environment with targeted rules. We start with the Datacenter firewall, which represents the top layer.

Next is the Node firewall, where security is broken down to individual hosts. The VM and CT firewalls are the finest layer of security, allowing you to secure each individual virtual machine or container. Of course, this book cannot cover all possible use cases and deeper technical concepts in full detail (as always), because network security and firewalls are complex, evolving fields. However, with this book, you’ll learn the basic principles of the Proxmox firewall and how to effectively use it to make your environment more secure. It is meant to serve as a tool to help you understand Proxmox better and customize the firewall to your specific needs. The concepts in this book are your first steps toward a truly secure virtualization environment—a foundation that will allow you to continue developing your IT security knowledge over time. This book not only includes the basic setup steps and application rules for the Proxmox firewall but also covers essential ports and practical configuration examples. It addresses the key questions every Proxmox user should know to make their system more secure. And this is absolutely necessary—every day I see Proxmox servers where the firewall is either not configured at all or insufficiently so. This is exactly why I wrote this book, to emphasize the importance of solid firewall protection and to provide every user with the necessary tools. With Proxmox Firewall Understand Activate Isolate, you get not only a book but a guide to expand your knowledge and create a secure Proxmox environment. As with all my IT books, I’ve also ensured that the print edition is easy to read—the font sizes are designed for comfortable reading. Of course, the familiar pages for notes are also included. After all, we all know it: you read, reflect, and want to jot down an idea or note without scribbling all over the pages. The note pages are a practical extra that I value as a useful addition—and perhaps you will too!
