Hi, I’m new to this topic and I’m planning on building my own home lab. I want to build one server with proxmox and pfsense in a VM. Do I need a multiport network card or is the single port on the motherboard sufficient for creating VLANs?

It also depends on how much traffic/performance you expect out of the network.
Running on a single gigabit port will limit to a max performance of 1gbps.
Unless you have gigabit internet, it shouldn’t be that big of a bottleneck, but it all depends on the use case…
