In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:

“Is it possible to present a public IP address to a VM in bridge mode? Ie, the computer sees the nic as the public address. End goal is I’m trying to set up a pfsense firewall with two nics and i want WAN nic to present directly on pfsense as i was using this to set up ipsec tunnels.”
