      Hello all,

      I have a /28 subnet and I want to share some of those IPs with someone else’s firewall (so they can manage whatever they want below that).
      That said I need to be able to control the bandwidth (down+up) used by those IPs.
      I tried putting a public IP on a NIC connected to my Pfsense however I don’t seem to be able to establish the routing.
      My Pfsense is virtualised.

      Can someone please advise if is this possible (considering the resources)?
      Although I have good experience with NAT and firewalling I can’t say the same about routing :(

      Anyone that can provide some help?

      Thank you!

        Where is "someone else’s firewall", directly connected to yours ?

        If so a VIP + 1:1 NAT and a static default route on "someone else’s firewall" pointing to your router should do it.
