## Solution

Check Point Cloud Firewall supports the **Proxmox Virtual Environment** (because it is based on KVM).

[Check Point Cloud Firewall](https://www.checkpoint.com/cloudguard/cloud-network-security/ "Check Point Cloud Firewall") provides advanced threat prevention and automated cloud network security through a virtual Security Gateway, with unified security management across all your multi-cloud and on-premises environments.

[Proxmox VE](https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve) is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality, on a single platform. Proxmox VE can virtualize your IT infrastructure, optimize existing resources, and increase efficiencies with minimal expense. You can easily virtualize even the most demanding of Linux and Windows application workloads, and dynamically scale computing and storage as your needs grow, ensuring that your data center adjusts for future growth.  

**Supported Deployments:**

* Security Management Server
* Cloud Firewall Single Gateway
* Cloud Firewall Cluster
* Standalone

| PMTR-122999 | When installing version R82.10 (kernel 5.14) or higher on a VM in Proxmox, the VM enters a continuous boot loop after running the First Time Wizard if the CPU type configured for the VM does not match the physical CPU of the Proxmox host. To resolve: 1. In the Proxmox web interface, go to **Create VM**. 2. Navigate to the **System**tab. 3. Under **CPU** settings, from the **Type** list, select **host**. 4. Complete the **VM creation**. |
