Probably you just need to add outgoing NAT
INTERFACE=WAN, SRC=10.1.1.0/24, SRC PORT=, DESTINATION PORT=, NAT ADDRESS=207.X.X.51, NAT PORT=*, STATIC PORT=NO

Well, port forwarding and websurfing seems ok now…except that the FTP forwarding causes problems. May the use of a load balancer affect the transfer stability ? My opinion is that DNS don't always resolve the same IP...

@GruensFroeschli:

I dont think it's related, but:
Are your VLANs all on the same switch?
I see that you mix tagged and untagged traffic on the same interface.
This "could" be a problem.

Yes, they are. The interfaces on the pfsense box are in a vlan which is native on the trunk port on the switch.

I dont think you can do with the current setup what you describe.

Traffic would have to leave via one interface ( the /28), get NATed, reenter on the same interface and get routed to the WAN.

Well, can I get "around" this by using another physical interface on the pfsense box for the PublicInternet, instead of using a vlan interface, and "moving" the rules to that interface ? If that would work, I'd (not really happily) do it.

How does you ISP handle traffic on his side?
Will traffic from your IPs be routed to your main WAN IP no matter where it comes from?

My ISP routes all traffic to the /28 subnet via my public wan interface IP.  I assume that in their upstream router they have something like this:

ip route A.B.C.192/28 0.0.0.15 D.E.F.21

and are exporting this route to BGP/OSPF/MPLS or whatever they speak upstream

You could scrap the /28 VLAN and add the additional public IPs on the WAN directly with PARP type VIPs (CARP wont work since it's a different subnet).
You then can use these VIPs in outbound NAT rules.

I NEED the /28 VLAN; this is essentially where I can do "internet" testing directly, without having to make ruleset changes on the firewall. There's at least a half dozen boxes on that subnet now, and I do not really want to to make VIPS and manage  a constantly changing ruleset for each one of those boxes, some of which might be "foreign" machines with DHCP assigned addresses.

If I can make this work by using a separate physical interface for the PublicInternet, I'd be happy, but have to forgo using CARP which I was "saving" the last interface for (its an ALIX)….

@GruensFroeschli:

Can you show screenshots of your firewall and NAT rules?

Did you enable advanced outbound nat?

I have not touched the outbound NAT settings; it's still set to the default of Automatic Advanced.

Here are the pictures (I have tried it with and without the aliases)

Thanks! That makes sense.

I'm sorry. I should have specified that I tried using port forwarding from both the WAN port and the virtual IP I created for my web server. No luck.

I also tried a packet capture to see if the packets were being rejected by the firewall for some reason. After trying the website multiple times, I stopped the capture only to find no packets were captured.

I think it has to do with my ISP.  I have a call in to them, but they don't work on weekends. Go figure.

Essentially, I followed all the setup guides and then a guide I found at: http://www.digitalphotomac.com/PFsense/VirtualIP/, which seemed to explain exactly what to do.  But it still didn't work. The only difference was I am using a Cable ISP and he is using a DSL provider.  Seems that is the problem.

I may have to purchase a different ISP to make this work, but that would be a last resort.

Thanks for your help.

Here is the openvpn config File I'm using. So unless it is in some other file, I'd say no.  ;)

client dev tun remote xxx.xxx.xxx 1149 proto udp tun-mtu 1500 fragment 1300 mssfix float reneg-sec 86400 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun route-method exe route-delay 2 ca xxx.crt cert xxx.crt key xxx.key tls-auth xxx.key 1 cipher AES-256-CBC comp-lzo verb 4 ns-cert-type server auth-user-pass inactive 604800 ping 5 ping-restart 60

Ok i think it works :)

Hi GruensFroeschli!

It looks like that PC has hardware problems (I'm hoping it's the hard drive) and that I'll need to reinstall…

The web interface stopped responding for no reason and many of my logs seem to contain binary data which I'm pretty sure is probably not normal...

I'll test 1:1 NAT as soon as everything is back to normal...

Thank you!

The picture did not show the entire network.  pfSense shares a LAN with a SonicWall that we are trying to replace and the SonicWall has more VPNs to more networks.  Trust me, I wouldn't just add static routes for the fun of it.

So I have managed to get a test VPN connection up to a SonicWALL TZW.  I have NAT reflection enabled to make the xxx.xxx.xxx.77 address accessible from inside the firewall.  The problem that I am running into now is that I can only bring the tunnel up from the TZW side by pinging the xxx.xxx.xxx.77 address from inside the LAN of the TZW.  I need to be able to bring it up from the pfSense side as well, but I am unable to ping the remote network (192.168.41.0/24) of the TZW from pfSense.

It seems like maybe an outbound NAT rule would take care of this, but I don't know how to set it up correctly, and it doesn't seem like I can make a outbound NAT rule for my IPSEC VLAN.  Can anyone help?

Below are some screen shots of my current working configuration to help you better understand my setup.

CARP Address on the WAN where VPNs will terminate.  This must be CARP as opposed to Proxy ARP because it needs to be pingable. 

VPN with remote network set to WAN-CARP address

Port forwarding xxx.xxx.xxx.77:22 to 192.168.41.50:22  This si working.  I can SSH to xxx.xxx.xxx.77: from the TZW and connect to a shell at xxx.xxx.xxx.50:22

And here is the firewall rule that lets the port forwarding work. 

@rmathew1973:

The problem I'm running into is that we have a block of ip addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.228 to xxx.xxx.xxx.239).

Very interesting definition of problem.
May we see screenshots of your NAT and rules?

@Eugene:

What a day! the second smart network for today… routers do not split networks.... instead hub/switches do... pfSense with one interface. Wonderland! or it's secret screenshot from the newest Cisco's IIN design.
Dear tendabiru,
how do you define the word 'proxy' in you magic world?

Dear Eugene,
the picture is from my friend network design, but now  i can not contact him again.
the router is mikrotik (indoor router) Routerboard RB450, maybe that wrong design? but i just need to know, how to NAT,  if mikrotik forward everything from(port 80) to pfsense squid port 3128(maybe use two ethernet card).
i'm sorry, i'm just want to learn for how use this machine / pfsense. i mean proxy is squid and squidguard in the pfsense. i'm sorry because didn't give explain in the good word, then i change my header question.

regards

Can you post screenshot of "NAT to forward HTTP traffic to a web server" here?

http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,18094.0.html

1. Switch on DHCP on Lan2

2. create a rule like:

Proto    Source    Port    Destination    Port    Gateway    Queue    Schedule    Description
*          LAN2      *            *            *          *          none

What are you trying to access?
The webGUI?

An NAT forwarding?
In this case: did you read http://faq.pfsense.com
