Hello I'm new to pfsense so bare with me. I have searched the forum with no luck. I have pfsense configured and working properly My issue is I have configured port forwarding to allow me remote access to pfsense but I also need access to wireless access points this is where my problem lies if I forward port 8010 to port 8010 I have no problems the issue is if I forward port 5901 external IP to port 80 on an internal address I get nothing I have 12 AP's I need to be able to access remotely all of them listen on port 80 and cant be changed. any help would be appreciated.

Well… Do you add filter rules?

Normally, the rules should seem like this:
Source: Any
Source port: Any
Destination : AP1
Destination port: 80
Action: Pass

Hope this helps.

Is the pfSense the default gateway for your AP?

Take a look there: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Port_Forward_Troubleshooting

Did you make the tcpdump step also?

Problem solved in my ignorance I did not give the AP's a passthrough on the captive portal
