Big picture question about webservers.

I have 10 static ip addresses delivered to me by fiber modem.

I would like to have the Firewalla Gold stop all unsolicited inbound traffic except for port 80 and 443 for each ip address.

Is the Firewalla Gold the right tool for the job?

My service provider tells me the subnet mask should be 255.255.255.24.  Firewalla Gold says that is incorrect and wants me to use 255.255.255.0.   It works when I use that subnet.  Thoughts??

I currently have the Firewalla Gold working where I tell it my default gateway is 24.39.42.177 it also wants an ip address.  Why does it want the gateway and an ip address?

Currently the Firewalla is providing DHCP to my test computer and it works.

Am I correct in thinking that I should turn off Firewalla Gold DHCP when I set up the webservers on the 10 static ip addresses?  I guess there is no NAT routing at that point??

Thanks!

  check your network mask, 255.255.255.24, I think it should be 255.255.255.240

  With your static IP, your ISP should give you the default gateway to use. You can ask them that.

  Here is how to use multiple IP on WAN https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046703673-Firewalla-Feature-Guide-Network-Manager#h_01FP7A35WFMTAJK8VHKD3BQJW5
