What is the public IP address behind pfSense?
Hello! Your setup involves four public IPs from different ISP ranges. The cable connects to an L2 TL-SG105 switch, which links to two routers: one at 89.201.7.x and another at 89.201.7.x. Behind the pfSense firewall you're building a network card with X550-BT2 ports on 89.201.8.x, and you need those routers to get public IPs through pfSense. Your goal is to route all traffic from the routers via pfSense. What advice would you give for this arrangement?
To achieve this more commonly accepted approach, you should avoid assigning IP addresses to your network gear like routers or even modems. Instead, ensure all your public IPs are linked to actual servers. This way, you maintain better control and security. The specific steps will vary based on how your ISP handles IP routing, but this method is generally recommended.
Assume 1:1NAT is set up on PFSENSE, place the switch on the PFSENSE LAN side, and connect each home router's WAN to the switch.
