      Hello
      .
      I'm a beginner with pfSense. I can not see Ip cameras from WAN, on LAN i see them. I opened ports in NAT.  I can access from WAN to GUI of pfSense.

          "I can access from WAN to GUI of pfSense."

          Why would you open pfsense wan gui to the wan??  That is not a very security conscience thing to do..  The links provided by ptt are what you need for port forwarding.

          From a security point of view I wouldn't open up your cameras to the public either..  Unless you can lock down the source to your own known IPs, it would be much better to vpn into your network to view your cameras.  This is a simple as adding openvpn client to your remote device - which there is an app for both ios and android..

              Dest. Address should be WAN Address, not LAN Address.
