        So you got a response from the web server?

        Check your apache error logs then.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

              Were you trying to connect from your WAN to your forwarded port? PFSense isn't going to reply for anything unless you also have the PFSense management on 80/443 and now you opened the ports.

                  you'll have to change the pfsense webgui to different ports if you wish to portforward 80/443
