DIfference between NAT and Rules ! Am going Crazy
-
Forget about terms like "DMZ-zone".
pfSense is a real firewall and not a cheap soho router you can get off the shelf in the market at your corner.I assume you dont have multiple public IPs and thus cannot make us of 1:1 NAT.
If you want to forward multiple ports you can:
a: forward a range. Simply set the "External port range: from" and the "External port range: to"
b: use aliases. You can insert in all fields with a red background the name of an alias you created. An alias can contain multiple single ports and ranges. -

Forgive me my ignorance - how do I create alias for port range or multiple single ports???
In Aliases I have only hosts/networks options (pfSense-1.2)
Thanks. -
Is the note really that hard to find?
Enter as many ports as you wish. Port ranges can be expressed by seperating with a colon.
Just press the + button to add multiple single ports/ranges.

Sorry again, but may be it would not be really hard to find if I new where to search.
I do not have these words neither in Firewall->Aliases->Add new nor in Friewall->Rules->Add new…
I understand that I look stupid but I was searching for this feature long time ago and could not find it. And I would be happy to use this functionality of pfSense. Please - where? -
What version are you running?
Maybe it's time to update :DIt's under Firewall->Aliases->Add
See the attached screenshot :)

Confirmed - I am stupid.
Thank you very much. -
ok Pf Sense Block Video Ability for my network. so I can Only forward the port to only 1 pc ? it's anoying because I have 3 different computers that I might want to chat and do Video conference with. Any Advice ?
Thanks -
If you think forwarding ports only to one pc is only a limitation of pfSense find me any NAT capable device that is capable for forwarding frames to multiple PCs.
And then i'd like to see the mess your network ends in :pYour options are to enable upnp, or configure your clients with different ports.
-
ok thanks, I never said it's a PF sense Limitation. Can you guide me withthe UPNP a little bit ?
thanks -
Your software has to support upnp as well.
If it does:
Just enable it and you're good.
