Great job, Tom, love the pfsense vids. Did this on a Watchguard years ago when the company needed multiple external IPs for external facing HTTPS. Keep it up!

Thank again, as usual, your videos are very informative and this one was just in time because I should received my block of ip's this week.

[darren_clark]

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. I am glad you had an error at 4:21, this is quite helpful to see what happens when it is not set up correctly.

Super helpful.... still two years later.... thank you - ima let the box find the block via dhcp... then use the virtual for the fine-tuning on the remainder of the static. Much appreciated!!

Nice job Tom I have learned this and I m Pretty much confident now.

[sicariusdracus]

Great job! Made my job simple with this tutorial.

Great Video, Tom. Another use case: I'm lucky enough to have a class C block allocation of my own (256 portable public IP addresses that are NOT provided by my ISP), so Ive been using this techmique for a while. I have a WAN link over PPPOE, for which the ISP provides an IP address. That becomes the WAN address. The LAN interface uses addresses in my own range, (which the ISP routes to me via their provided IP) and I just route between them. In addition to port forwarding, Ive used virtual WAN IPs from my own allocation as outbound NAT addresses for the private subnets, so that the only traffic I need to care about, coming back, is that of my own address range. Anything else gets dropped - including anything destined for the ISP-provided WAN address.
