      Hi everyone,

      I'm a beginner on pfsense and I would like to set a web server behind my pfsense interface. NAT works just fine, the web server too and everything is accessible from the internet. I set the webGUI port on HTTPS in order to avoid conflicts.
      Here is the problem : when I enable NAT routing on port 80 the clients behind pfsense can no longer access to anything.
      Any idea ?
      Thanks !

        Set "external address" in the NAT-rule to "Interface address" and not to "any"

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Seems to work, thanks a lot, websurfing now works. But now whenever I try to access the webserver, I get a 403 error…which I hadn't prior to pfsense use.

            Hmm…
            Sounds to me like a missconfiguration of the server.

              The server works just fine on a "standart" router.

              UPDATE : after a couple reboots of both the server and the pfSense platform, everything is back up and running. Thanks a lot!

                Well, port forwarding and websurfing seems ok now…except that the FTP forwarding causes problems. May the use of a load balancer affect the transfer stability ? My opinion is that DNS don't always resolve the same IP...
