      Hi! I have a TP-Link TL-MR6400 router. A SIM card is inserted into it. The router doesn't have Bridge mode. The router is connected via cable to the pfsense server. How to configure pfsense correctly so that there is internet? Set up DMZ on your router? Should the router's LAN port and the pfsense LAN port be on the same subnet?

        This is only needed for incoming connections from the internet.

        Should the router's LAN port and the pfsense LAN port be on the same subnet?

        No. You have to connect pfSense WAN to the router and the LAN behind pfSense has to use a different subnet than then WAN.

        The setup should go straight forward.
