As for your questions:
1. must I assign same subnet IP address (of my upstream router) to my firewall WAN interface ?
I think it's okay if it has different subnet.
2. can I pass my VLAN traffic without configuring all VLAN on firewall ?
I think you only need to configure the specific VLAN that you use? But to be safe you have to configure all VLANs.

Hi Ojisang,
Thanks for the your reply,
sorry if i am not explain my question correctly, Actually for the 1st one , I need to check can I apply TCP rule on firewall without assign IP address on the my firewall WAN interface
2nd one - my issue is ,although I create all required VLAN's I can only assign one VLAN for Interface assigning. so I have some confuse weather it's passing all VLAN.

Yes you can apply TCP rule on firewall but you have to be specific because you might lock your pfSense :'(
2nd one - my issue is ,although I create all required VLAN's I can only assign one VLAN for Interface assigning. so I have some confuse weather it's passing all VLAN.
I see so you only use simple switch. Only managed switches can create many VLANs
