Network and security

Each lab has a dedicated VLAN. No routing is allowed between lab VLANs and the production network.

Strict policy: inbound denied, outbound allowed. Any inbound opening must be justified and approved with the administrators.

No resource in a Proxmox lab can be given a direct public IP. Exposure on the Internet goes through an approved mechanism (reverse proxy, VPN), never through direct exposure of the VM.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is mandatory for any access to the Proxmox interface.
