pfSense and ACT Fibernet....refuses to work!

[sujaldev]

If anyone's looking for a solution to the original problem, here's what I tried (and it did work):

• live boot into any OS (I tried it on fedora) that has a desktop environment and has a web browser (so not pfSense) on the same machine where you've installed pfSense.
• go to selfcare.actcorp.in and login with your credentials.
• boot into pfSense and it should probably work now.

This works because the mac address of the NIC doesn't change regardless of the OS. But I'm still unable to get my static IP with this approach, its assigning me a private IP behind a CGNAT.

Hi Guys,
Has anyone tried PFSense with static IP in Bengaluru and does it work? As Im trying to setup PFSense with openVPN to connect to my home devices when away from home. If that works I am planning to get static IP and also if you share how much it costs to get static IP would be great

It works perfectly for me, cost is 300 per month including GST. (I'm in Delhi)
