Hi Curtis—Proxmox VM migrations are a common pain point, especially with pfSense/OpenVPN dependencies. I’ve handled failed restores, storage mismatches, and version conflicts, and can quickly diagnose why the VM backup is erroring on the new node. I’ll get your VMs cleanly restored, pfSense booting properly, and OpenVPN revalidated end‑to‑end. Clear fixes, minimal downtime, and notes so you’re not stuck again.
