              First picture: With this you disable the whole NAT and the firewall.
              You dont want this.

              Second picture: You deleted the rule, but didn't switch to manual rule generation.
              Activate manual rule generation and it will work.

                  Don't set "no NAT".
                  Delete the rule.

                    nope,
                    it seems that nat is off, but port forward does not work (from other - first pfs machine through this one)

                    with rule i set up, same thing

                    oh yes, and from first PFS machine i cant ping any interface on second pfs machine, when i turn back on option to turn off nat and firewall everything is fine.
                    but i need firewall on this second machine, do this is not solution.
                    I think i will have to sacrifice one interface and wan leave empty and use OPT instead?

                      If you disable NAT, then you can no longer use portforwards. A simple firewall rule is all that is needed.
                      That's the whole idea behind disabling NAT
                      –> You dont need to use portforwards, because everything is routed.

                        no, things works like this first PFS machine is conected to ISP router, and it is firewall/proxy/vpn etc…
                        (only 2 nics)

                        second one (6 nics) is connected to first one, and second one connects multiply networks into one, BUT, i dont want users to see each other so i need firewall that works.

                        And port forward, i need it to forward ports from internet to internal radius etc... whic is connected to one of 6 interfaces on second PFS.

                        i didnt try to use opt interface on second pfs as WAN interface, bit i think it would work. ?
