Effectively similar, but not entirely. With 1:1, your internal host(s)
have a private IP address (such as 192.168.x.x), which correlates
directly with a publicly routable IP address. In a bridged setup, the
client owns the publicly routable IP address directly. I personally
haven't figured out why I would want to use 1:1 when I can just
bridge, except that some platforms won't let you use Captive Portal
when you have a bridged interface. (This was true of m0n0wall, but I'm
not sure about pfsense.)

The firewall lets you block CIDR networks. If your range doesn't fit
neatly into a standard subnet then you have the choice of blocking the
encapsulating subnet, or creating multiple rules to neatly cover the
desired range.

Hope that helps.
