      Here's a small output of that command.

      The weird thing is, when I do canyouseeme, it shows me another public IP than what is shown in the WAN interface on my pfSense box.
      Both are public IPs, and I tested both, and now they say closed.

        if you aren't willing to do tcpdump on pflog0 you can't see how your packets get blocked

                  @lolipoplo pflog0 was empty, no matches.

                    pfsense has logging on for all of the default block/reject rules

                    If pflogs is empty, this probably means your port forwarding is working provided you do not have silent block/reject rules.

                    one more sanity check, go to your associated pass rules for nat and enable logging, then listen to pflog0 again to make sure they are matched

                      @lolipoplo Still empty, and I could see almost nothing hits the rule in the auth screen as well.

                      Even though I ran a check from an online service to see if it's open or not, it did not register, and the test came back as closed.

                      Something is very weird here. I already did such a check before that returned open, so I'm not sure what happened.
