It shouldn't break a thing by entering an ip.  Please describe what
you mean by breaking.

You're going about this all wrong.    If you have an ip you want to
protect then the machine should be behind the bridge with the public
ip.  Not on pfsense!   Enter in a fake ip on the LAN interface
(something like 192.168.1.1).  The bridge will automatically forward
traffic through it.

Yes, having the same IP on two interfaces will confuse the holy hell
out of FreeBSD.  I guess we need to have more logic in the webGUI to
keep people from doing this.
