Port forwarding
-
Port forwarding not working, this did work on my router. attached are my firewall setting
 -
In your port-forward rule, your Destination should be WAN address.
How are you testing? From WAN side or LAN side? What type of network is your WAN, public IP or private IP?
-
It should work even with * as the Dest, I believe. Have you gone through this yet?

Let me ask this: I have Cox Business internet with a Static public IP, is there anything I need to setup on the cox router to allow port forwarding on my pfsense firewall. Port forwarding worked fine on the router by its self
-
Read the port forwarding troubleshoot wiki page first without going any further, especially the point 8:
8\. The pfSense router is not the border router. If there is something else between pfSense and the ISP, the port forwards and associated rules must be replicated there. -
Wow right there in black and white. Ok how can I make pfsense the only thing between the ISP and my network, since Cox's connection is coaxial
-
You need a cablemodem in bridge mode and then pfSense after that. If your modem is also acting as a firewall router then you're going to have problems.
