      @stephenw10 but why on 3 different subnets, I'm assuming they are /24 and there is a .0 .1 and .2 subnet

        What size WAN subnet does it give you?

        The fact you are seeing those IPs in the ARP table implies they are sending traffic to you. So probably broadcasts.

          @stephenw10 so why would I be receiving traffic on another public IP other then my own static public IP?

          Is this normal?

                  If it's in the same subnet then you would see any broadcast traffic from those IPs, yes.

                  I have no idea yet if your WAN IP is in that subnet or not if one of them is the gateway you are being passed by DHCP. I would imagine they are.

                    Actually is looks like it is. What subnet mask is it given?

                      @stephenw10 no, my WAN interface on pfSense is given my public static IP, not a private.

                        Those are public IPs. The IP you are logged into the forum with is also in that range.

                        What subnet mask is is giving pfSense on the WAN?

                            In Status > Interfaces. 'Subnet mask IPv4'

                            Or at the console, the /24 show here for example:

                            WAN (wan)       -> re1        -> v4/DHCP4: 172.21.16.10/24

                                My LAN is a 224 or /27 but no subnet mask on the WAN side.

                                  Hmm, well it shows as not connected there.

                                  It should show an IPv4 address and subnet mask. It will show at the console (if it's actually connected).
                                  Or you would be able to see it in the routing table in Diag > Routes

                                        For the benefit of anyone reading the dhcp server is passing a /16 subnet mask. So WAN side IPs in the ARP table are all inside that.

                                          I have
                                          163.47.0.1 - acoresw05.metro-cit.ac.jp

                                          163.47.0.3 - unknown?

                                          all in my routing table.

                                          WTF is this? Any why are they in my routing table.
