use a WiFi connection as a external interface?

Hi,

Is it possible to use a WiFi connection as a external interface? Let's say I have a Wireless LTE device and I want to have PfSense connect and use it for outgoing traffic. Is this possible?

Thanks!

So long as you get an IP address, yes. I have often used my cell phone to connect my computer to the Internet. Those LTE devices provide the same function as a phone in this example.

Yup, that is possible. It would be better to use something that allows an Ethernet link though. A USB connection might also be possible but that comes with it's own issues.

Yes you can. You can have a look at this list provided by netgate of known 3g/4g modem devices. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/cellular/known-working-3g-4g-modems.html
