      If both IPs really are fixed

      Is it possible to check this on my side, without calling to ISP? Because I use as static and over DCHP and did not found any difference)))

          Ha, well that's a long lease! The fact that it can use dhcp though implies the ISP could change it. They probably just default to the same IP unless there's a reason to change.

          Are you spoofing the MAC address to keep that for 20yrs?

            @stephenw10 No, MAC address original from pfSense, when lets say me replacing my router to new one, my ISP automatically assign this new MAC to my IP that all)))Just appear web page from ISP , please wait a 3 mins and bingo)))

              Mmm, well somehow assigned to your connection then. Potentially you might be able to use a static IP. The ISP would know but most ISPs are difficult to information from. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                @stephenw10 Idk, how they make this, appear a web page from my ISP, when I try to browsing, on this page should put my agreement number from my ISP and wait a few time , that all)))So , looks like it is full static ? Is it correct?

                  @stephenw10 Also have a question, if set as static IP better set MTU and MSS manually on WAN and LAN in this case?

                    @JKnott Can you set as static?and check MTU

                    I haven't tried to set static and wouldn't without knowing an address that's outside the pool.

                    I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                        MTU/MSS wouldn't really be affected.

                        Only way to know for sure if it will accept a static IP is to ask the ISP or try it and wait for it to fail. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                          @stephenw10 When use static IP , its never fail. What I mean is possible to hardcoded MTU and MSS on WAN? and if yes should me also set MTU and MSS on LAN than?

                            The default value of 1500 should be fine whether it's static or DHCP. I would not expect to need to set it. On either interface.
