Which settings, in pfSense, could alter default blocking of inbound WAN connections?
-
I know, by default, pfSense blocks inbound WAN connections but what I'm trying to understand is what pfSense settings could/would alter this default behavior?
I know the following sections of settings would, but are there any other settings I'm overlooking?
-Floating rules
-WAN rules
-NAT port forwardingThanks

What do you think could be the alternative behavior?
Allowing anything? To where?

@viragomann Just trying to learn what settings to avoid, so the default "block inbound WAN connections" don't get altered. I suspect the following sections could , but I'm wanting to make sure I'm not overlooking anything else.
- Floating Rules
- Wan Firewall Rules
- NAT port forwarding

@mcd3rpy
Yes, you can allow anything with rules, but you have to state a destination in the rule, otherwise it is pretty useless on a firewall in router mode. -
@mcd3rpy On each interface, the blocks under "Reserved Networks" at the bottom (RFC1918, bogon).
