Have VLAN directly linked to WAN
«

I have a device in my local network that needs to have direct access to WAN, so without NAT (it's an iptv box from my internet/TV provider).
If I put that device in a separate VLAN, should I then bridge this VLAN with the WAN interface?
I can't connect the device straight to my provider's router, because of the location, and there are other devices at that location that go via the same cable.
I come from Openwrt and there it was really simple:

But I'm unsure how to do the same in opnsense.

You need sufficient public IP addresses to have at least a /30 for your IPTV VLAN and a /30 for your WAN connection. In practice this means a /29 from your ISP.
That's all for IPv4 of course. The problem doesn't exist in IPv6.

PS - the article you link to seems to have NAT for the Digicorder since it is shown with an RFC 1918 address
PPS - needless to say hat this type of lock-in is absolutely despicable
