How to Use 5 Static IP Addresses with Virgin Media Broadband

firewallnat;Networkpfsensewan

I have installed virgin media business broadband and the package comes with 5 static ips. These IP are GRE tunnels from the HITRON router to virgin.
the IP addresses are for example
66.66.66.65 – 66.66.66.70
255.255.255.248

with
66.66.66.65 / 29 being the LAN Gateway (HITRON router)

I have a PFSENSE firewall between the gateway with WAN setup
static IPv4 66.66.66.70 / 29
upstream gateway 66.66.66.65

How do I use the other static addresses (66.66.66.66 – 66.66.66.69)?

My assumption is to just manually set a device / or router to another one of the static ips assigned then plug it into the HITRON router?

You need to either

  • connect a switch/VLAN to the handover port (on the ISP router) and connect devices using your IP addresses directly or
  • assign all addresses to your pfSense firewall and map/translate the public addresses to private addresses behind the firewall/in your DMZ
