      I'm new to pfsense, we have a proxmox server and pfsense is installed in a vm, I want to establish a site to site vpn with aws vpc, I saw steps to do this but in create customer gateway they asked for public ip, so I guess it is the public IP of pfsense is that right, if so how to find that public IP address?

        @zikou It's visible in the dashboard directly when you log in to pfsense.
        And also under Gatways...

          @Gblenn I found it but I think it is private
          LAN has 10.1.0.252
          WAN has 10.0.0.252

            Use a site like https://www.ipchicken.com to find your external (public) IP address. If it's not static though you'll need to setup dyndns etc.

              @stephenw10 if I access that website it will give me the public ip address (but of my local network home) not the pfsense network

                Well yes.
                Where is pfSense running in that case?

                If it's in AWS then you need to use the elastic IP assigned to it there. I had thought you were using the AWS VPC wizard remotely.
