Pfsense not pinging correctly using VIPs in outbound NAT
-
As you can see above, for some reason when i try to ping to google using the virtual IP i made, it pings to the 8080 port instead of google. Any idea? I tried everything.. thanks in advice. -
The marked state shows a TCP connection to port 8080 from a LAN device, I guess.
Ping uses ICMP protocol which only connects to IPs, not to ports.The ping you're talking about might be seen in the upper two lines. So you ping 8.8.8.8 from a LAN device and it uses 192.168.10.57 on WAN. Is this not correct?

Here are my nat rules etc..:
As you can see i did 2 VIP and for some reason the ping goes to the 8080 instead of just do a ping.. -

Yeah, agree. It should use the VIP on WAN.
You should reboot pfSense after adding outbound NAT rules.
Maybe it also helps to kill the states.But the ping is not going to port 8080. This is TCP protocol as the state table is showing. Ping uses ICMP.
