Port forwarding problem
-
I have a simple setup
LAN bridged to WAN(PPOE) dynamic address
I have enabled my dyndns account in the relevant section
I have tried port forwarding in the NAT section of pfsense
I have also tried firewall rule on WAN interface to allow inbound to webserver address
all to no avail.Ive had this working fine before on many different things like dd-wrt and ipcop
so why wont it work?
there must be something simple that i have overlooked
that i cannot find on these forumsany help much appreciated

If you use bridgeing you don't need portforwarding. A firewall rule permitting traffic on the dsired destination port is enough.

I bridged my LAN to WAN so i could use traffic shapping
sooo to enable my web server on LAN to be visible to the outside world i add a rule for the LAN interface firewall?
-
No, you add a rule at WAN (you always add rules for traffic incoming at an interface). No need to add a rule at LAN for this.
Trafficshpaing is not supported in bridging setups. This is a limitation. It only can be used between non bridged interfaces.

i couldnt get traffic shaping working unless i bridged them….....dunno why
and i tried pass rules on WAN interface to allow in web traffic to server,no good
im gonna have to start from scratch or install ipcop...........
