      I'm NEW to PFSense, I have been looking for a solution with no results, not sure if this is the correct topic but I think it's related to the firewall

      My Network Setup
      I have a fiber connection I think it's called an OFT on the outside of my house cat5 from that goes directly to the PFSense box
      PFSense Box has PPPOE user & Password
      PFSense box to Unifi POE Switch

      I have no packages installed, base install

      I have a reverse proxy setup running at 192.168.0.11
      DNS for DOMAIN.com is hosted outside my network and points to a DDNS service

      my domains vault.DOMAIN.com, blueiris.DOMAIN.com, jellyfin.DOMAIN.com all work outside my network but will not resolve if I'm inside my network.

      any idea what firewall setting is blocking this traffic

        @mcolvin if those resolve to your public IP, and you want to redirect them back in - you would either need to setup nat reflection. or you would have to setup host overrides on your pfsense if your clients are using it for dns to resolve to the actual local IP.
