      I have a web server that has a SNAT created for port 80. This pfSense box isn't the main firewall, thus why I had to create a SNAT port forwarding. Everything works, except the Web Server logs don't show the client's IP. It shows the WAN IP address in the logs instead.

      Any ideas how I can resolve this? I need the web server to see the real client's IP.

        If you do SNAT on packets, which are going to a device, it sees only the NAT IP, nothing else.

        If you want to see the origin clients IP remove the SNAT rule and set pfSense as default gateway on the web server.
