Imagine you would like run 2 x vCPU and 4 GB RAM virtual machine. Which service provider do you choose? Azure, AWS or Hetzner? With AWS you pay 65 USD (c5.large instance… and by the way why this is called large at all?). You pick Microsoft Azure you pay 36 Euro (B2s). If you would pick DigitealOcean then you pay 24 USD (noname “droplet”). Choosing Scaleway you pay 19 Euro (PLAY2-NANO compute instance in Warsaw DC). However, with Hetzner Cloud you pay as little as 4.51 Euro (CX22 virtual server). How is that even possible? So it goes like this
Bare metal servers offered at Scaleway are at reasonable prices, which can be compared to those on Hetzner. You even get Proxmox installation by default contrary to Hetzner were you need to install Debian first. To setup Proxmox with one public IP anf pfSense with another one you need to order Flexible IP and request for virtual MAC address. Remember that on Scaleway’s flexible IPs gateway is fixed and it is 62.210.0.1. Then for the network configuration: x.x.x.x is primary Proxmox public IP. y.y.y.y is its gateway (with a.a.a.a network with b.b.b.b netmask). z.z.z.z is then your secondary public IP
