        if your isp device allows for dmz host, then sure you can put pfsense wan IP as that.. Then any traffic that hits your public IP should be sent to pfsense - then your pfsense forwards would work.

        But I would HIGHLY suggest against opening up rdp to the public internet. If employees need to get into the work network while they are home on the road, then they should VPN in. Then they can access what they need securely.

          Try setting the device into modem mode and configuring the pfSense WAN interface like this:-

                  F660

                  My screenshots are for if you've set the router device to modem mode with PPOE.

                  Same user ID & password as on the F660.

                      STOP

                      Are you going to use a DMZ or put your F660 into modem mode?

                          Putting the other device into modem mode will mean your pfSense will get an internet routable ip address on its WAN interface which them makes things much easier to deal with :)

                              You'll need to google it or maybe talk to the ISP.

                              I don't gave the same device.
