Services behind firewall a no joy.
-
Hello,
I have configured a wan firewall rule to accept incoming connections for ultravnc to a host machine on a particular port behind pfsense on the LAN network, but I get no joy when I use Ultravnc via internet.
Can someone direct me to the where I find out how to configure PFsense to accept incoming connections that are initiated from the internet such as UltraVNC or DNS or POP or SMTP.
Thanks…Jits.

OK, I've just been through this process on 1.2.3 to ensure the steps are accurate and complete.
Create a NAT entry (NAT -> Port Forward).
Fill in the relevant fields and ensure that "Auto-add a firewall rule to permit traffic through this NAT rule" is selected.
Submit the form, and don't forget to "Apply Changes" when returned back to the list of forwarded ports :D
That should be all that you need - by default, the automatically-created rule will be "allow all".
I would advise that you tunnel VNC through a VPN or SSH connection though!
