my firewall is pfSense, which is based on monowall.

on pfSense, in order to use a private address on the wan interface, you have 
to uncheck a box that says "block private networks" (it even says 'for the 
purposes of putting the wan interface on a private lan).

i would assume due the lineage of pfSense, that monowall likely has a similar 
feature.
