        Okay here is the Porftforward and correspondig firewall rule. The firewall rule was created through the Nat-Rule, the checkbox automatically create firewallrules was ticked.

          Does it work if you disable the advanced outbound nat? I think some of these rules might mix things up. We do enable nat automatically if an interface has a gateway.

            Yes I had it working wothout "Advanced Outbound Nat". The reason why I enabled this was that I wanted to put a Counter Strike Source Server on the Internet that needs this "Static Port Feauture". The weird things is that when the PPPOE device at WAN could not make an Internet connection, the Portforwards are working on the Opt-Wans.
            Do you have any suggestions ?

              I think only one mapping can use a static sourceport at the same interface for the same port. You tried to assign several times the same sourceport at the same interface for traffic from different subnets. If the the pppoe WAN is down it bypasses one of these settings (the first match) and goes down to the OPTWAN static port rule which then works. I guess something like that is going on.

                Ok, I will trie to delete the "static mappings" the next time when I am in front of the router and post the results here.

                  Hmmzz i got the same problems…
                  I installed PFsense again (clean install)
                  And only made 1 rule (RDP)
                  First i tryed it on WAN 1 this works
                  Then i tested on WAN 2 (OPT) and it doesn't work and i programmed the rules same.

                  I hope they will find a solution for this problem.

                    Upgrade to 1.0-RELEASE we fixed a condition where firewallrules were not applied before rebooting in certain circumstances.

                      I did that… But without any positive results...

                        rob_v do you have a PPPOE connection on WAN?
                        I will try the next days to upgrade and solve the Problem

                          I tested it with:

                          WAN 1 static

                          WAN 2 static

                          And with :

                          WAN 1 DHCP

                          WAN 2 static

                          Thx :)

                            I am also now on Release 1:

                            • Portforwarding on Opt-Wan not working
                              -deleted my static port entries but not effect

                            Now backed up config XML
                            -deleted all advanced outbound rules and enabled ipsec passthrough, and deleted "oubound tags" in config.xml installed again Pfsense, restored config.xml, did the normal reboot and it doesn´t even work work without having toutbound Nat enabled :-(

                            Still the same, the Firewall Rule is showed as above in the firewall log page but nothing happens

                            Right now I have the feeling that Dual Wan and Portforwarding is a mess or I am to stupid for this and just how it seems the latter is more likely

                              I have several locations where I'm using portforwards on multiwan setups (at WAN and OPT-WAN) without any issues. You really seem to have something wrong. I suggest starting over and not reusing the old config.

                                Hoba, do you have on any location PPPOE as a Wan Interface?

                                  uhm, no. Static everywhere. Maybe that makes a difference. Can you send me /tmp/rules.debug and your config.xml to holger dot bauer at citec-ag dot de?

                                  Btw, how did you make PPPoE work at OPT-WAN  ???

                                    Hi Hoba,
                                    there maybe some Kind of missunderstanding:
                                    Wan (the normal PFsensenstandartwan) = Pppoe
                                    Opt-Wan (Optional Interfaces with static ips or they get them per DHCP).

                                    Therefore I asked if in any of your Setups you have the normal WAN as a PPPoe Connection?

                                      PPPoE at WAN shouldn't affect portforwards at OPT-WAN.

                                        Shouldn´t….
                                        I noticed only on an old install that when I plugged the cable of from the PPPOE Connection and rebooted the Portforwards where working on Opt-Wan this is the weird thing.

                                        On your Opt-Wans. Do they have all Ip from an ISP ? I have on my Opt-Wan a 192.168.0.0/24 Adress because I need that a DSL Modemroute makes the PPPOE connection or is this a Problem that I am using a private Ip range on the OPT_Wan Interface?
                                        Regards

                                        I will install the next day from Scratch and make Babysteps, maybe I ca find exactly out at which Point the Problem lies.

                                        Should I still mail you the requested files?

                                          did you uncheck this option on the opt interface ?

                                          Block private networks
                                          When set, this option blocks traffic from IP addresses that are reserved for private
                                          networks as per RFC 1918 (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) as well as loopback addresses
                                          (127/8). You should generally leave this option turned on, unless your WAN network
                                          lies in such a private address space, too.

                                            Yes, please send me the files. Maybe something obvious pops up by viewing them.
