<![CDATA[Using two DHCP obtained IPs]]>Hey. My ISP allows me to lease two ips from them. How do i configure pfsense to lease two Ip's?

I want to use one as a 1:1 nat for a game server that needs a public IP. I have done it when i get a block of IPs that I know, but this IP will be dhcp leased and most likely random from my ISP pool.

thanks

It works well just for the extra address though.

i guess maybe a switch between the modem that feeds two nics in the pf sense would work too…
