      Hello,

      I hope i opened this topic in correct place.

      I have one phisical server and i run much virtual server in this machine. Each vps have public ip address.

      I want to use pfsense for block possible attacks in this vps's.

      But my problem: I want to use public ip address in vps nic. Becouse if i give internal ip address for customer they laugh me and go to other provider. Its possible? I want to use pfsense as gateway but i want use public in address in vps's.

      What i need set up or how its called what i want?

      Sorry for my bad english.

        What you are looking for is known as a "Transparent firewall".

        Look here first:

        Maybe also look here.  Its not inside forums though.  Not sure about it.

            It can be done.  Lots of providers like you run NAT off in bridged / transparent mode.
            I don't but others do.
