      We're running version 2.3.4-RELEASE-p1

      We have followed the instructions found here for a transparent bridge setup using WAN and LAN interfaces but the instructions don't seem to be translating properly.  I was able to use those same instructions to get the transparent bridge (we're using WAN IPs) working with OPNSense but didn't really care for the IDS/IPS setup there.  Does anyone have a guide for the latest version of pfSense that would help us get this working?  We have a /24 on the WAN of routable IPs and we are going to go to a switch off LAN and then to machines from there.  Thanks in advance!

        I would get a /29 from the provider and have them route the /24 to that and not bother with things like transparent bridging on WAN.

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

          Normally I would do that or just NAT but the customer is very insistent on not changing the setup.
