      Hello

      PFsense 2.01
      I try to access webguy through wan (static address).
      I've configured webguy with https port 5555.
      I've added firewall rule:
      pass
      interface wan
      tcp
      source any
      source port range any
      destination wanaddress
      destination port range 5555 to 5555

      But i still can't access webguy through wan.

      Should I add port forwarding ?

      Thank you

      Jack

        Are you trying access the fw from within the LAN to the WAN ip? The rule looks good, but if you are trying to access the WAN using a private IP or a bogon address, there are 2 default rules that block them out. You should not need to use port forward.

          I have the same problem,
          I want to access the webgui by wan. In fact wan is connected to a router where there are connect other pc's and I would to access web-gui from them..
          I created the same rule, by following the tutorial in the doc pfSense, I disabled the two rules that block private networks, but I just can not access it ..
          No idea?
          Please HELP  :-\

            In my case, it just works by setting a NAT like this:

              You dont need to nat.

              destination port range 5555 to 5555

              Rule should be from any port to 5555 in your case.

                  How did you try to enter the webgui through WAN?
                  Simply WAN IP or a no-ip domain?

                    I'd like to enter the webgui through WAN IP.
                    The WAN ip is 192.168.1.1 and the https port is 553.
                    I'll post some screens of my webgui..
                    They might be more clear than me  :-

                      So- you have a dsl modem doing nat also…  Are you sure thats port forwarding your port correctly?

                          If you do not have a nat rule created to forward 553 to another host, check if this port does not conflicts with any other service running on this machine.

                          One test you can do is remove gateway from wan and use default routing table.

                            are you seeing it blocked in the firewall logs?

                            The only thing you need is the firewall rule you described in your first post, and to disable block private networks on that interface. But if you have a 1:1 NAT on your WAN IP or port forward configured that overlaps with that, it will override the ability to access the firewall directly.

                                  On lan firewall tab, create a rule That deny access to pc1 and pc2 ip.

                                      From lan to lan(on same network segment) machines can communicate without passing through firewall.

                                      Take a look on pfsense book and doc.pfsense.org it will help you on first steps.
