      What do you see in /var/etc/xinetd.conf?

      This is a long list and all of them I assume is my laptop (127.0.0.1) -- bitdefender anti virus I assume. Since the list is pretty big here is the linke

        @netboy 127.0.0.1 is a loopback address that means "myself"...so it depends where you are running the commands. On pfSense that would be pfSense. On your laptop, your laptop.

        What is 172.16.0.30?

          Hmm the fact it starts at port 80 makes me think that could be config error. It's quite common to see a range entered incorrectly like 80-443 when that should be just ports 80 and 443.

            172.16.0.30 is tied to my external domain - run some applications....

              Maybe I should just enter 80,443 instead of 80-480?

                  Yeah you almost certainly don't want all those ports forwarded. If you need several ports you should create a ports alias and then use that in the rule instead.
                  I imagine you have NAT reflection enabled specifically in the rule too. That's what's creating the xinetd entries. I would remove that too unless you really need it.

                    My external domain points to 172.16.0.30 port 80(http) and 443(https). I access this from outside like https://subdomain.mydomain.com.
                    I guess I need to open this port to access https://subdomain.mydomain.com?

                    Is this correct?

                    Should I disable NAT Reflection?

                      No. You can only enter one port there or an alias that has multiple ports.

                      If you only need 2 ports forwarding just make one port forward for each port.

                        My understanding is create 2 entries - As an example for 80

                        3ebc7e51-f52c-4f8b-9934-3674f0efe09f-image.png

                        And do the above one for 443 as well

                        And for both NAT reflection must be enabled I guess (to access from outside) - kindly confirm

                          Yes. Though you can just put 'http' in both from and to port fields, port 80 is the http port.

                          NAT reflection allows internal clients to access the resource using the external destination. It's not required for access from external clients.

                            I disabled NAT reflection and this is how it looks now

                            a5514bea-9fa5-4c21-8ed1-137d6a896b4e-image.png

                            However now if I enter https://mysubdomain.mydomain.com I see pfsense login not 172.16.0.30?

                            I want https://mysubdomain.mydomain.com to point to 172.16.0.30

                            Any changes I must do to accomplish this?

                              @netboy Presumably you're testing from inside the network if disabling it changes anything. ("not required for access from external clients")

                              Consider split DNS:
                              https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/reflection.html#split-dns
                              Or just use reflection as discussed on that page.

                                @steveits You are right.....

                                When I used tor browser .....https://subdomain.mydomain.com points to 172.16.0.30!!

                                All good - Thanks a ton

                                cat /var/etc/xinetd.conf output is blanks

                                  Yeah, if you need to access the resources from inside using the external URL it's better to use split DNS:
                                  https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/port-forwards-from-local-networks.html#method-2-split-dns
                                  But if you need to use NAT reflection you can almost always use PureNAT mode rather than NAT+Proxy. PureNAT mode does not use xinetd (nc) instances.
