      @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.

        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.

                    Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                    When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                      @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.
