      Hello guys,

      Please bare with me as I explain my issue.
      I have a dedicated server which came with ESXI 6.5 pre-installed. There is just one IP dedicated to this, the management IP:  62.121.90.xx/27 from where I can log to ESXI. This instance had just one NIC installed at this IP. No NAT. I asked from my hosting provider to issue me a second IP which is of 83.159.147.XXX/26. What I want to do is the following:
      pfSense with two  network adapters one WAN where I can connect the internet and the second one I would like to use internally for Nating with other vms.

      I have created the following:

      Problem is that when I assign the new IP (83.159.147.XXX) to the WAN interface of pfSense I am not able to reach internet.

      Any ideas?

        Is the second IP in another VLAN eventually or does the machine have another NIC, where the IP has been assigned to?

          The machine has one nic up and the first IP is assigned to that nic. I am not sure where the second IP is assigned but the following is the detailed network info for the vmnic1 adapter:
