      Hi

      Apologies if this isn't the correct section but I wasn't sure where to post my question.

      If I have a web server running on my home network (that won't be accessed from outside) is there any way to give an internal website a URL instead of an IP address, using pfSense? For example, http://servername will go to 192.168.1.10.

      Thanks

        If you are using the DNS Forwarder, you can use "Host Overrides"

          Go to System- Advanced- Firewall/NAT    uncheck "Disable NAT Reflection for port forwards"    Give that a try…
