Thanks for the fast reply. Does it have something todo with the scripting choosing LAN Vlan 999 as default VLAN? I deleted that.

Linux Bridge on Proxmox is just fine.
Tying now with VLAN-Aware to on.

Maybe found the problem in the script.
This Command is being typed to fast!
so only "elete ..." ist left as command.

"VLAN-Aware" in Proxmox made the VM start now.
I think its important to give that as a note.
Need to check everything now.

Looks fine now with "VLAN-Aware" checked on Linux-Bridge for LAN in Proxmox.

And why does the LAN default to VLAN 999 in the script?

It’s not really a bug, but more of a design choice in the script. By default it assigns VLAN 999 to the LAN interface to avoid mixing it with the WAN network. In Proxmox, if you use a VLAN tag, the bridge must be set to “VLAN Aware” – otherwise the VM won’t start.

So technically the script works as intended, but the default VLAN can cause confusion. A safer approach would be to leave VLAN empty by default and only set it when the user actually wants to use VLANs.

Info: i deleted the VLAN 999 on the LAN-Interface. It still would not start the VM.

So some notes on the website would be nice to check the "vlan-aware" before installing.
