      If you think this```
      22:12:57.604130 IP 91.199.45.221.34002 > 10.0.0.10.23: S 3047972562:3047972562(0) win 5840 <mss 6="" 1902431548="" 1460,sackok,timestamp="" 0,nop,wscale="">22:12:57.607788 IP 10.0.0.10.18 > 91.199.45.221.34002: S 564746040:564746040(0) ack 3047972563 win 4128</mss>

      is correct then you are probably wrong.
      Why you have in source 10.0.0.10.18 instead of 10.0.0.10.23 ??? I am confused…

        I haven't got the slithest idea what it could be.
        I'm thinking of a reinstall with only 1WAN and then try to NAT something.

        I'll let you know tomorrow (11 PM over here already)

          I would blame 10.0.0.10 here.
          Make local connection with network dumps.
          … or good night -)

              well here some test results:

              After connecting my 10.0.0.10 (Local device) to the modem directly all was working fine (Puts the problem definitely at the pfSense configuration)
              I did a reinstall of my pfSense machine with the 1.2.3-RC1 image and created the LoadBalacer, placed the firewall rules so the Internet was working.
              Unfortunately after creating the NAT and some more firewall rules, no connection could be made.

              I now have a modem directly connected to my local device so incoming connections bypass the pfSense firewall. Not the best way but works for now. If I find a solution in the near future I'll be sure to post it here!

                Can you make tcpdump on local device while connected directly to modem?

                  That will be very hard (The local device is a Cisco router)
                  Guess I can connect my ubuntu machine directly and run a dump on there!

                      just tried to do this with ubuntu.
                      I'm able to connect to ubuntu over the local network (telnet and ssh)
                      Applying some NAT & Firewall rules give the same result as before, no syn,ack in tcpdump, while connecting from the interwebs.

                      Getting very frustrated because its lovley weather over here ;>)

                      Is there a 'workaround' for natting problems like this (Like turning off the firewall completely?)

                      regards from the netherlands

                        It's lovely wheather here as well (sunny, 27C) but it should not affect our ability to fix this problem. Can you post tcpdumps of your local session to this ubuntu box and remote session (through pfsense)? Both dumps from ubuntu please.

                          FINALLY!!!

                          I got it to work!

                          The solution:

                          • I used OPT1 or OPT3 for the incoming connections, change this to WAN
                          • All devices connected where configured with static IP addresses, configure for DHCP and set up DHCP-server on LAN
                          • Make some NAT and firewall rules to LAN & WAN
                            +> Problem solved!

                          Eugene thanks for the support so far!
