      Noob here and am excited to have the HPt620P that I bought on ebay. Want to add pfsense as my firewall to get more granular control on QoS, fw at hopefully line rate :)

      I have the same problem as https://forum.netgate.com/topic/119597/avoiding-double-nat-routing-only-firewall?_=1604029895872. ie

      ISPmodem-(wan)pfsense(lan)-google wifi mesh router. Now need pfsense to act as transperent bridge. Went through the docs for transperent bridge config. But the bridge intf needs an ip address. My ISP gives only 1 dhcp address which googlewifi mesh needs.
      How do I achieve the transparent bridge with all the bells and whistles of pfsense? I also want to add Pi-Hole into the combo here. Really appreciate all the experts patiently answering.

      BTW, the mesh wifi doesnt allow bridge mode when in mesh mode :( Also, cant do double NAT due to online gaming concerns.
      Thanks
