      Hello,

      I have 2 pfsense installed and a vip interface between them; now, I have to change the ip of the interfaces that I have on the 2 firewalls bound to that vip and also change the vip ip: there is a "safe" mode to do this?
      If I simply change the ip on the interfaces and then update the vip ip I have done all or I have to change every NAT rule, every page that use that ips, the ipsec vpn?
      How to procede?

      Hope in your suggestions.

        You may simply do that. VIPs are basically independent from interface IPs. They may moreover cohere with the WAN gateway.

        This depends on how you've configured your rules and services. If you used a variable as destination, for instance "WAN VIP", there is nothing to do. You only have to change the WAN VIP and you're ready. However, if you entered the IP explicitly, you will have to change it now as well.
