      Hi there!

      I want to set up a transparent firewall setup.
      In the WAN is the provider uplink, in the dmz my servers, in the lan private stuff.

      I gave the WAN a public IP, the DMZ is none and I set up a bridge.

      -> Is it necessary or usful to setup a bridge interface and put there the public IP?

        I have a similar setup and I don't use any bridge.  What are you trying to bridge?

          I want to give the servers in the DMZ public IPs without NATing.
          And I have one /28 net from my upstream wihtout any routing.

          • the WAN is in its own VLAN only with the uplink to the gateway
          • the DMZ is in its own VLAN with the servers
          • and the LAN has it own VLAN

          All 3 are switched to dedicates interfaces on the pfsense box.

            Different setup than I have, and I don't have any experience doing what you're trying to do.
