      I have a four port pfSense (2.3.4).  I have WAN configured with 1.2.3.4/29 as assigned by my ISP.  I want to be able to hook up a machine to opt2 that is a Virtualbox host.  I want opt2 to have 1.2.3.5/29 so that it can be essentially a DMZ.  I need the pfSense to do NAT and DHCP on that interface.

      The trouble I'm running into is if I configure opt2 as 1.2.3.5/29 it tells me that it conflicts with 1.2.3.4/29 on the wan.

      With a /29 range, I have 6 usable IP addresses.  There has got to be a way that I can 1.2.3.5 on opt2, but I'm at a loss to find it.

      I tried bridging WAN and OPT2, but that didn't seem to do what I wanted it to (doesn't mean it's not possible via that route).

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        You either need to get a routed subnet, use 1:1 NAT, or bridge the interfaces.

        In order of most- to least-preferable.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
