  Long story short, to use H.323 behind a pfsense firewall, one needs to enable static-port NAT. Unfortunately neither H.323 nor SIP were designed with NAT in mind, in which case one needs either an ALG (which btw is part of Linux's netfilter since many years, but apparently missing from baseline pf/FreeBSD) or a NAT device that won't rewrite ports (a solution that will work if you only have one such device). Edit: Note that SIP software has been improved in recent years, and most recent implementations can work through NAT without a need for ALG or static ports, but it's still something one has to keep in mind when troubleshooting SIP issues.

  If the wrong server is responding then the wrong server is responding to 10.0.20.7. Do a packet capture on the inside interface for connections to 10.0.20.7 TCP port 443. Test a connection in from the outside. Do you see the SYN going out the local interface? Is it destined for 10.0.20.7? What responds? You might need to look at the MAC addresses here to see what's really going on.

  Having the same gateway on multiple interfaces is likely the problem. It works, sort of, with PPPoE, but it's not a configuration we recommend or technically support, due to issues like this. Probably the requests are coming in one interface and then it can't figure out which way to send the replies.

  I

  The original issue was that I could not get port forwarding to work with my camera NVRs (2 of them), some websites were slow or not loading and could not access my ISP's website and email. I had port forwarding setup in the wrong order or something. I reinstalled pfsense and redid all of the port forwarding rules after I found a very detailed video that basically explained firewall aliases much better than the pfsense documentation. That made setting up my port forwarding so much easier and took only 5 mins Port forwarding is working as it should and lightning fast compared to before. As for my ISPs website or email not working, I was not able to access those from within my network on any client, whether it be PC or mobile device. It all worked fine on my asus router before I started using pfsense so I was stumped. My ISP is probably doing some wonky stuff with resolving or whatever. By adding Google's DNS servers has fixed this issue. Nothing else I tried was able to fix it. I would only change one setting at a time, apply and retry. If that did not work, I would revert back and try a different setting. In short, everything seems to be working on every client both within and outside my network.

  Your actual box behind pfsense is not talking to 1195, pfsense would be talking to other pfsense on that port to create the tunnel. Your traffic is then routed down that tunnel.

  @derelict said in NAT Reflection with external IP from LAN: When NAT reflection is used to access a server on the same subnet as the connecting client you will lose the source IP address of the client. This is because if the server receives a connection from the same subnet it is on, the reply will not go back to the firewall and the firewall TCP state will break. This is generally considered poor network design. Using Split DNS will solve this problem without NAT reflection. Appreciate your reply. I wish asked this question 3 weeks ago when i setup the boxes.

  It's possible to use virtual IPs for forwarding, but it's not possible to assign 192.168.1.125 to the client LAN, since that IP is out of the server LANs network. However, you don't need to assign a virtual IP for what you intent if pfSense is the default gateway in the client LAN. If so, just add a NAT port forwarding rule to the client LAN for dest: 192.168.1.125:443 target: 195.78.228.226:443 and it will do the job.

  @_neok said in Outgoing NAT'ing from a single IP: @jimp thanks for reply. I was able to make it work. There are some tricks to make it work well. Now I have to go. Tomorrow I write how I made it work. Bye Gabriel I had a rule to allow me to navigate my entire LAN through another gateway. I had to make an IP alias of my LAN by taking out the local IP in question. Along with that I set the local IP to go out to the internet through the same gateway over which is the interface that has the VIP associated. That, in combination with the Hybrid Outbound NAT and that's it. I was able to fix it. Thanks for help Best regards Gabriel

  Never set Outbound NAT from source any. Set it to the inside networks that actually need NAT to happen. I would suggest you start by enabling automatic mode and trying again unless you can state why you need manual outbound NAT.

  @johnpoz My configuration in: System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT / Network Address Translation / NAT Reflection mode for port forwards is set to "NAT + Proxy" and when I set to "Pure NAT", I can list the ftp content from LAN So, it seems a solution, as it works. But as I have set Squid Proxy, perhaps it's not a good idea to set "Pure NAT"? Otherwise, can I create a rule which simulate the "Pure NAT" setup with "NAT + Proxy"?

  @kom The first link I glanced over before but I can now access the web server both on the WAN and LAN. I'm even able to ssh to it from LAN to OPT1. I don't remember if it was one of the videos you linked or some random third video but I didn't understand that request get sent out on a random port. So those source ports would have never worked. Sorry for not understanding that sooner. Thank you for the references and your time.

  @kom said in Forward Traffic from Virtual IP to target behind WAN: OK. Now what about the captures? That's the only way to really see what's happening. I went the easy route and ditched my previous attempts. I just created Port Forwarding Rules for the required hosts. Not elegant, but works for me. Interface Protocol Source Address Source Ports Dest. Address Dest. Ports NAT IP NAT Ports LAN TCP/UDP * * 192.168.20.2 1 - 65535 192.168.1.2 1 - 65535 LAN TCP/UDP * * 192.168.20.1 1 - 65535 192.168.1.1 1 - 65535 Sorry for the delay (blame it on the holidays )

  That's very true - I'd missed that his log was showing the router's IP, whoops :) I'm not sure how to explain the third dig screenshot though - it seems like his client asks for 8.8.8.8, and gets a response that is artificially from 8.8.8.8 (even though it actually came from his Pi-hole). Or am I misunderstanding that? I said I can't imagine it would out-do pfSense ;) I certainly agree with you on capability. I've recommended the USG to some friends that would have been far less comfortable with pfSense, and needed something simple that largely 'just worked' out of the box with some future control if they wanted to delve a little deeper. In their case, they were upgrading from crappy ISP routers, and I didn't want to recommend an off-the-shelf consumer router from Asus, Netgear etc.
