NAT (Port Forwarding) and web failover

marcelloc

It's on firewall -> nat -> outbound

skipper

i created an outbound nat but the traffic is still going to the wan interface and not back to vpn
here is my outbound nat rule

Interface webslavelan
Source 192.168.129.0/24
Source Port 443
Destination 10.4.0.0/30
Destination Port *
NAT Address *
NAT Port 443
Static Port NO

change source to any.
does webslavelan is the outgoing interface to reach 10.4.0.0/30?

skipper

thnx for your help man!
this is my network a bit more detailed,
i have tried to put different interfaces and IPs on the outbound configuration but the traffic goes still to my wan :/
now i put vpnsitetosite as interface and source any but it doesn't work.
what should the destination be? is there something else that i need to define? create a new gateway or something like that?

Try to go to console and do some package capture to find what interface pfsense is using to send traffic to remote host.

skipper

the request is going from vpnsitetosite–>webslavelan-->webslave
and the reply is going from webslave-->webslavelan-->wan
i need to send it back to vpnsitetosite interface

Can you select vpn interface on outgoing nat rule?

skipper

i can select OpenVPN but not the specific vpn interface.
do i need to create a virtual IP, a rule to 1:1, or something additional?
i have tried many combinations for the outbound rule but the http replies are keep going to the wan interface :/

What you get when you select openvpn as interface on outbound nat for this server?

If you can't do it with load balance, consider using a reverse proxy like (varnish,squid-reverse,apache+mod_security)

skipper

i get the same, nothing changes if i select openvpn as interface.
i will try to find another solution as it seems that what i am trying to do it's not possible with load balance.
thnx for your help!
