        so i'm trying to point jellyfin to the wan

        Ah, ok, yeah, get it, but that's pretty broken behavior.
        WAN refection is .... burk.
        It's like calling your own phone number and wondering why the guy doesn't asnwer ... something like that.

        The clean and better way to do things :
        Use the LAN IP.
        You want to use host names ? That's ok.

        Go here and note down the domain name - or ask the admin :

        26a504cd-8ee0-4ad3-89e3-4e76f00eae72-image.png

        With this knowledge, create a host override here :

        d2055b77-3499-4852-bf19-cfc60a9d27cb-image.png

        and from now on you can use

        a_yellifin.your-pfsense-domain-name.tld
        

        from everywhere on your local networks instead of the IPv4.

        edit :
        and oh sh#t again :
        This :

        18650bda-5a32-4a10-b271-ed4486a35226-image.png

        means you Laptop (no network given !) is not on the LAN ? Another pfSense LAN ?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @zari90 Good. You can't redirect DNS over TLS (DoT) so this can be removed too.

          You haven't showed your LAN rules right? It is probably a mess too. Reset the LAN rules to the two default allow any rules. And then we go step by step, you start with an easy task you decide and we will guide you. ;)

            pfsense already in dns resolver as well as the other IPs it works internally just not externally, so its like someone call example.com but getting voicemail. the laptop is on dhcp on the same network dc01688f-1757-4169-b8ad-3b261960246e-image.png

                @zari90 You can re-add the "LAN-subnets" to the IPv4 allow rule and remove the NAT rule for DoT. You said you only have one LAN but I do see VLANs. Also in your "diagram" there were no other LANs shown...

                        Then create the NAT rule and show and explain it. Also we assume that your ISP allow unsolicited incoming connections, many don't these days. If you have a new ISP, you could be out of luck.

                          tested but the port is not open and I don't think my ISP blocks anything I have a dlink router that i replaced with this netgate and everything works fine just not very secure

                            LAN address should be your server IP(pi-node IP)

                              @zari90 Whatever a pi-node is, it is not running on your pfSense LAN-address. If it is running on your Windows-machine, use the IP-address of that machine instead.

                                its on dhcp though so the windows 10 machine will pick up a new IP when it restarts i've changed it now to a static IPbb6b250e-48f5-4f82-beda-63c4faf7fc41-image.png cded8f02-70cf-4b81-a580-67ffa273ec3d-image.png not working either

                                  Show the WAN rules now, we want to look at the "states".

                                      @zari90 If you create a NAT-Rule, there should be placed a rule on WAN for you. So something is not right. Remove the NAT rule and create it again, then look if the WAN rule was created. If not, you are doing something wrong.

                                        In your NAT rule, make sure you have it like this.

                                        7e6405fe-9e8f-4f55-a866-ecfdd70d735e-image.png

                                          No rules means :
                                          nothing can enter WAN.

                                          If you have created a NAT rule (from WAN to LAN), then there will be auto created a WAN firewall rule, so the traffic can actually enter the WAN. It has to enter, so the NAT rule can do its job=>sending the traffic to the pfSense LAN network with the good LAN IP.

                                          Check your NAT rule, at the bottom you'll find :

                                          38209c20-fafc-4887-951a-edb779cb7a25-image.png

                                          and clicking on the blue "View the filter rule" (which is a pass rule in WAN normally) will show you the firewall rule. The one you've just deleted ....
