        That site simply shows you the source IP address of requests that you send it. So to change that you need to send requests from a different public IP address. Usually it will show your WAN IP.

        Do you have more than one WAN IP address?

          I have one address
          All devices on the network
          It only has 1 address for all devices

            That's expected. Most internet connections have 1 public IP address and all internal private IPs are translated to it.

                But I want to make a network
                For a large number of devices I want a different address for each ip

                    You can do that using manual outbound NAT:
                    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/outbound.html#working-with-manual-outbound-nat-rules

                    First you need to have those public IPs present on the firewall. So a public subnet that is routed to you be the ISP perhaps.
