pve-firewall: Start the Proxmox VE Firewall service.
$ pve-firewall start
try on your machine

The command "pve-firewall start" is used to start the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) firewall. Proxmox is a virtualization platform that allows you to create and manage virtual machines, and the PVE firewall is a component of Proxmox that provides network security by filtering incoming and outgoing traffic.

When you execute the "pve-firewall start" command, it initializes and activates the PVE firewall on your Proxmox server. This means that the firewall rules you have configured will be enforced, and any incoming or outgoing network traffic will be inspected and filtered according to those rules.

Starting the PVE firewall is essential for securing your virtualized environment and protecting your virtual machines from unauthorized access or malicious activity.
