I’m curious to know in which case is useful to know the public IP in a firewall rule because I’ve never used it.

An access rule for instance. To say to allow all traffic or specific types of traffic from a public IP address. This could be if you wanted to allow access to some media server from your friends house or something.

To allow access from a friend you need his public IP, not yours.

No fucking shit? In that scenario your friend could use DDNS and you point your access rule to his FQDN to allow access.
Did you really ask me a billion fucking “why” questions just to come back and fucking what prove me wrong? Is this a good use of your time? I literally thought you were a noobie looking to understand.
Fuck off.
