      Hi all!

      I have pfSense on top of ESXi.
      Provider gives me additional IPs strictly mapped to MACs, i.e.
      IP1 = MAC1,
      IP2 = MAC2, etc.
      I want to hide all internal stuff behind single pfSense. Is it possible to assign IP2/MAC2 pair to WAN interface?

      P.S. MAC1, MAC2, etc are provided by SP.

        One Interface can only have one MAC address. All VIPs except CARP hooking up on it have the same MAC.

        But since it is a virtualized pfSense, you may add multiple virtual WAN Interfaces to it. On each one you can set another MAC after.
