unable to get firewall to route traffic

@Bob-Dig
We can start where ever, I would however like to get the port forward working can't find how to do that anywhere youtube etc... so port 31400, 31401
-
@Bob-Dig
the vlans are just here but not in use yet no traffic passing through on that yet -

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.

@Bob-Dig
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

@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 IP
not working either -

Show the WAN rules now, we want to look at the "states".
-
@Bob-Dig
removed rules earlier to start fresh -
@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.
-
@zari90
In your NAT rule, make sure you have it like this.
-
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 :
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 ....

done rule is there now but still not open

The states show zero, that is not good. This could mean something is blocking it before pfSense. Or you using the wrong address with the port-checker? Have you tried with your WAN-IP-Address or just with a domain name? Try both. If it is still not working and that port tester is working, there is something else blocking it before pfSense. And there is nothing we could do about that within pfSense and here.

@zari90
just with the wan IP the windows 10 machine is not in dns, let me try with Jellyfin add a rule and see if that works -

10 machine is not in dns
It is not about DNS at this point. If you test the port of your WAN-IP from the outside, it should create a state on WAN if there is a rule for that. For whatever reason now there is something shown for your first rule. Don't take the screenshot to quick after the port test, wait some seconds and reload the page before you take a screenshot or look.

@Bob-Dig
okay tried both domain name and WAN-IP but port still seems to closed -
@zari90 Look at the states.
