      I would like to set a static IP address on the client PC NIC interface. It does not seem to work, regardless it is with the dynamic range or not.

        Statics should be outside the DHCP pool.

        Yes, it works fine. In fact, it's out of pfSense's control.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
