 You can easily just hit the proxmox server from any web browser, and
 there's even a console window available from the web session. There's
 really no need to get to the local console unless it's crashed.

You can also SSH into the Proxmox console using any SSH terminal app.

 I prefer Spice, it seems a little more capable than NoVNC. Spice can
 also use multiple monitors, apparently.
