      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...

                      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.

                                          Hi,

                                          Is it possible to make a (simple) config file what works with 2 WAN's (port forwarding RDP or HTTP or FTP)
                                          It doesn't matter what for IP your use in this config file.
                                          I want to compare this config file with my own settings maybe i missed something?

                                          Thank you.

                                          Kind regards
                                          Rob

                                            Hi back at home,
                                            so jeroen234 on the Opt-Interfaces there is no Checkbox

                                            hoba: I disconnected the Cable from WAN rebooted and then
                                            the Forwards worked on OPT-WAN. The config with the normal NAT Setuo and also the Config with Advanced Outbound Nat enabled.

                                            rob_V could you also test you Setup if you disconnect the cable from WAN  and pos tyour results, only to verify if this could be the bug

                                            Cheers
