      I'm about to deploy pfSense in my network (note that I have not used pfSense before, that's probably the only reason I'm asking), and I want to use it as a bridging firewall for two networks using four network interfaces like this:

      
                             pfSense fw
                            +----------+
      [ISP       ] --->----o| -bridge- |o--->--- [ public subnet ]
                            |          |
      [VPN ROUTER] ---<----o| -bridge- |o---<--- [ LAN subnets   ]
                            +----------+
      
      
      • but before I start, all I want to know is if pfSense will support firewalling two bridges - not 'how', but 'if'.

      Best regards,
