Lost my Proxmox URL (alien.top)

[SOLVED]

This might be the dumbest thing to happen to me.

I've been running a home server for over a year now with Proxmox as my main OS and two VMs on it (Windows server 2019 & Ubuntu server). It has been a long time since I've needed to access Proxmox for anything and I recently lost all my browser history on Chrome.

It just occured to me that I should probably save my proxmox ip address but for the life of me I don't remember what it is. It is not in my browser history because that was recently reset.

I have access to both VMs so I'm hoping there's a way to find the proxmox IP address from them.

So far I have tried ip route on the Linux VM and ipconfig on the Windows VM. This is only getting me the ip of the VMs. Am I screwed or is there a way for me to get the Proxmox ip?

EDIT: Thank you to those who suggested the router logs. I recognized the IP there and was able to access it!

That made smile. Glad you found help here and solved your issue!

So... You are going to set up a small DNS-Server next too? ;-)
No really, I can recommend PiHole for DNS-AdBlock and it allows to set DNS entries too. That's why I use for my 2 Raspberries and the few VMs + network equipment.
