You got it correct. Other can be used if the provider is just routing these IPs 
to you anyway like if you have one public IP and a public subnet (different 
from your real WAN IP) that can be used behind that IP. This way you can NAT 
these IPs to your private subnet hosts. This is often used in combination with 
PPPoE WANs for example.

Betreff: [pfSense Support] Virtual IP


Hi, I have question that may be basic and stupid. What're the differences of 
"Proxy ARP" and "Other" Virtual IP? As what I am aware, Virtual IP based on 
Proxy ARP replies to ARP requests. Does it mean that "Other" does not? If it 
does not, what's the use of "Other" Virtual IP?
 
Regards,
Kelvin
