      Hello people,
      I'm new to PFSense and I'm reading to learn about a tool.

      My question is as follows:

      I have a dedicated internet link with a / 29 prefix. I have the public addresses available:
      200.138.102.234
      200,138,102,235
      200.138.102.236
      200.138.102.237
      200.138.102.238

      The ISP's gateway is 200.138.102.233.

      In the Interfaces menu, I have doubts about how to configure this link for a WAN (Internet connection interface for use on the local network).

      In Type of IPv4 configuration, check the option: Static IPV4
      IPv6 configuration type, left as none.

      In the IPv4 Address configuration, enter: 200.138.102.238/29 and gateway 200.138.102.233.

      In Firewall -> Virtual Ips, register:
      200.138.102.234
      200,138,102,235
      200.138.102.236
      200.138.102.237

      My local network is in the 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254 range.
      There is already a WAN interface with another provider on a / 24 link, authenticated by PPPoe that is working correctly.

      My question now is:

      Is a WAN interface configuration for using a / 29 correct?
      To use this interface for navigation, how do I create or route to my internal network?

      See some explanatory drawings about the / 29 routing scenario, but the practice was unable to apply and execute.

      Add for reading and for any help.

      Big hug!

        The WAN configuration looks correct.
        To use this interface for outbound traffic, create or edit a LAN rule and click 'display advanced' change the 'gateway' to your 200.138.102.233 gateway.
        For inbound, you can select one of your virtual IPs as the Destination on a port forward.

          Thanks dotdash for the answer.

          My firewall is not yet in production, I will test your information and I will return it soon.

          Once again, thank you for your kindness.
