        Dont assign an IP of your public subnet to the WAN.

        The machine behind the pfSense has as gateway the gateway of your public subnet.
        –> If 202.61.42.18.1/24 is the gateway of the subnet 202.61.42.18.0/24 then you have to set that on your client.

        Imagine as if the pfSense is not there.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          If i assign 202.61.42.18.1/24 as Gateway to Machine running behind Pfsense then how traffice will pass through Pfsense.
          if i donot assign Public Ip that is 202.61.42.18 to my WAN interface of Pfsense then after bridging LAN interface with Wan at Pfsense
