      Did the WAN interface numberings change?

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

        No. The WAN interface numberings in the firewall remained exactly the same as they were before this new circuit and IP migration was done. After I powered on the ATT managed router and the fiber circuit was activated I powered on the pfSense and the juniper switches and nothing was auto-reconfiged or manually reconfiged in the WAN interface at all. Even though ATT made these changes from their endpoint and segments.

          OK if there's another router then you might have to put the /29 on the pfSense WAN port. That would be:

          IPv4 Configuration Type: Static IPv4
          IPv6 Configuration Type: None

          IPv4 Address: X.X.X.98 /30
          IPv4 Upstream Gateway: X.X.X.97

          You would have addresses 99-102 available for your port forwards, etc. You would need to add Virtual IP addresses so they ARP to the upstream router.

          I left off the IPv6 because there are several ways that can be done.

          I am really guessing here because I have no idea what the AT&T router brings to the table or what it does. I would put it in a closet if possible.

            Okay I can work on that.

            I do plan to set up Open VPN with the wizard app in the firewall for these two clients to use as I have not done so before.

              If AR is AT&T Router and CR is Customer Router, then the first scenario is correct, which is a much better configuration for you.

                No other router, they just provided another lan IP block which I can use on a different port on the router. I am not entirely sure why. I think because we have had two (they get supplanted with each bandwidth upgrade and relocation) in the recent past and I wanted to conserve those IP schemes.

                  OK. A routed subnet is what you want. It is the proper way to do this.

                  After I powered on the ATT managed router not sure what this is then.

                    @derelict Okay will have to research that thoroughly to ensure I do not make any errors.

                    But I still do not understand why when I did the tracert the older lan IP gateway is still a route and that is not listed on the ATT info of the new circuit as you can see above.

                      You never know what is going to respond to traceroute. That router probably has a boatload of addresses on it and that is what it is choosing to source from in reply.

                        @derelict If I go modify the upstream gateway IP will this affect all local network internet traffic in real time or only the remote session clients trying to connect ?

                          Depends on what you're actually talking about and how the traffic is routed to you.
