That's where I get lost - I've seen tutorials using OpenSense, a
virtualization platform like Proxmox, and they used one network cable
running from the cable modem to the Proxmox server. They must have
created two virtual bridges, one for traffic from the router to the
firewall instance, and another virtual bridge to the LAN on the same
wire.

Other people just use a 2-port NIC, have one NIC for traffic from the
modem and another for the LAN side of the firewall.
