      Hi,
      I currently have a Virgin Router with DHCP setup. I have chosen an IP made it static and removed from DHCP and I am now using this as my WAN for my pfsense vm. I have my WAN connection and my two LAN connections setup in pfsense and all works perfect. But I'm having issues port forwarding. I want to port forward tcp 443 to my Windows server on one of my pfsense LANS. So I forward the port to the WAN IP on my virgin Router, I then do the same on my WAN connection to the WAN IP in pfsense. Then I go the the relevant LAN in pfsense and forward this to my server. But it will not go through.

      What I am doing wrong? I'm sure I have everything right? Please help guys?
      Many thanks in advance.

        Normally you make the port forwarding entries on pfSense WAN interface, for traffic with destination WAN address, port nnn, and forward to some address that happens to be in an internal LAN.

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
