      Why can you not answer a simple question? How do you set up an Internet connection on a laptop directly connected to this cable? Explain every step.

          You're serious? Going upstairs to have a look would be too much effort?  ::)

            Then you just need to create a bridge between WAN and OPT1 and allow DHCP on the OPT1 interface in the firewall. The clients behind OPT1 will receive IP addresses based on their MAC. You will also need to allow whatever outbound traffic you require on OPT1 such as DNS, HTTP, HTTPS etc.

              You're serious?… This is not some private home connection ... but a fully routed 1Gbit INTERNET connection... in a DATACENTER, where i just rent a server box... (actualy multiple, but that's another story... which is located 12000 KM away from me...

                If you just want to use the clients' firewalls witout pfSense, then just attach their virtual NICs to the WAN vSwitch in ESXi. That's all.

                  That I know… but i wanted to see if it is possible to remove the additional firewall from the client and do all firewall work on PFSense.
                  I used to do this this way (just configure a mac on the machine, connect it to the WAN vswitch and use an additional firewall for that system (eg APF) (http://www.rfxn.com/projects/advanced-policy-firewall/)

                    I answered that in post #23.

                      Great. Then maybe ASK the collocation provider to provide you with the requested information and post back, instead of wasting other people's time here.
