      My setup has two WAN interfaces and is NOT using load balancing.

      I have WAN, WAN2 (OPT1), and the LAN.

      All LAN access goes out the WAN interface.  This works fine.
      I also have a handful of servers in the LAN.

      Port forwarding works on traffic coming in through the WAN interface, but forwarding on anything from the WAN2 interface does not work.

      I've looked through the documentation, I have made sure the rules follow the same concepts between them, I can reliably delete and create rules on WAN and get them to work but cannot get anything to come in from the WAN2 interface.

        How is WAN2 setup? Does it have a public IP directly on it? Sure the ISP isn't blocking it?

        I use port forwards on multi-wan all the time, it should work fine, even if you don't use outbound LB.

        Some packet captures on WAN2 might help tell if traffic is even hitting WAN2.

          I have the same problem.  Non of the OPT1 wan traffic gets through OPT1 NAT.  I tried puting a terminal services machine behind ISP with a firewall, and the port forward works, so it is not the ISP or the router.  When it hits the OPT1 connection it is ignored, any ideas?  Thanks.

            Can you show the NAT, WAN and WAN2 rules? That way it is a lot easier to determine if its just a configuration problem or something else.

            Like Jimp I use this on several pfsense boxes without problems.
