      Hi,
      Is it possible to use additional IP addresses from a subnet (/30) that is assigned via a PPPoE account on the WAN port, on a separate interface?
      The goal is to use these IP addresses without NAT, so the public IP can be assigned directly.
      We are currently using a DrayTek where this works via the routed subnet configuration.
      Does anyone have experience with a similar setup on other equipment?
      We need to make this public IP address available to a third party that does not want to use NAT.

        @itnl sure if they route that subnet to your WAN IP.

        To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
        Only install packages for your version of pfSense.
