Ah, that explains it then,

My NAT is set to 'Manual outbound NAT'

Why if you don't mind me asking.. I never understand why users do this. Not saying there might not be need to do such a thing. But seems most of the time its users following some "vpn" guide that says to do that - when there really is no reason, hybrid nat works just fine for such a thing, etc.

My cable modem is in bridge mode and I can get 2 IPv4 addresses.

This caught my attention...what modem box do you have? Does it have more than one Ethernet port? I would love to have more than one IP's. Did you pay a little more for the second IP?

You are absolutely right, and that exacly what I did. I do not truly understand (hybrid) NAT or maybe most of the buttons I push in Pfsense, but I basically googled: "meraki x3 pfsense connection" and look what random people on the internet say :). I found the vendor documentation not very user friendly - then again my company does not want to deal with individual engineer that has some fancy Pfsense router. They;ll tell me to hook it up directly to my cable modem - and not use personal devices when working. If you have a suggestion, I would not mind trying a simpler better way.
