PFSense 2.1 Release - NAT Reflection not working

Supermule

Why cant you do that? Its either controlled through pfsense or the webserver delivering the sites :)

I'm not a website admin guy so yeah - Lets just say its new info to me. I've not ever had a need for a reverse proxy, but if I did, clearly that would save me some $$$.

Its only needed if you deliver sites to different servers. If you have only one webserver with multiple sites, its fine with one ext. ip.

Well - As of yesterday I understand it it fine, but the day before that I didn't know that a reverse proxy could work with HTTPS like that. Every day its something new…

Hi all,

I would like to ask a question. When enabling the NAT Reflection mode for port forwards to NAT+proxy in pfsense 2.1 stable, does it break the ftp proxy helper? I am trying to login through ftp to a device (from outside my network) with passive mode, with only port 21 forwarded to the IP of the device on lan (outside port is 57483) , but i get error on passive mode on filezilla client, like the many errors i have found for the ftp problems in posts on this forum. The problem is that the nat helper does not automatically configure the range for passive transfers, so i should disable the helper and forward a range of ports, but i would prefer this done automatically.

Thank you.

Hi all! I have same trouble, but my lan gw is already none.
Simple config, i have two int WAN and LAN, pfsense is VM, 64bit.

NAT:
WAN TCP * * WAN address 15555 10.20.0.253 15555

Firewall:
IPv4 TCP * * 10.20.0.253 15555 * none NAT

Portforward not working.

Having trouble. I'm at work and connecting to my home internal networking using SSH localforward-ing.

Failing Scenario: (Me at work computer) Chrome with Proxy SwitchySharp (SOCKS5 or localforward SQUID) -> trying to connect to a web interface (synology disk station) using public ip address and port -> fail/timeout.

Working Scenario: (Me at work computer) Chrome with Proxy SwitchySharp (SOCKS5 or localforward SQUID) -> trying to connect to a web interface (synology disk station) using private ip address of the synology disk station and port -> success.

Any ideas how to get this working?

Is your Synology using port 5001 as of the webinterface? Normally not. Set it to HTTP instead of 5001 as the target port redirect.

Hello everybody,

Thanks a lot for this post, it finally worked great for me too !!! 8)
Never have guessed it could deal with LAN gateway… Very good job !
Does anybody know where this behavior come from ? What's the link between LAN GW and NAT Reflection ? :o
Thank you for your answer... and the fix !
