      Check the default gateway on 192.168.10.251
      Check the software firewall on 192.168.10.251

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

        Thanks for fast reply.

        I already did it. The gateway is pointing to 192.168.10.252 wich is the LAN IP of PFSense
        Firewall Disabled.

        The RDP access work fine from LAN.

          Working from LAN means nothing.  Check the firewall on the host to be sure it allows connections from OTHER THAN LAN.

            The Firewall on Host is disabled.

            The Antivirus is disabled.

            I also tried with other Windows Server on the network, same problem.

            And tried with other service (DVR) in other host, same problem.

            Thanks for helping !
            Sorry for my poor english.

              Well, there's not much else to a port forward, so it has to be something.  Does tcpdump on LAN show the SYNs going from 177.143.120.78 to 192.168.10.251:3389?  What states are created? (Diagnostics > States).

              Load sharing…  Are you sure you have the port forward on the interface that has the IP specified?  Are the clients connecting to the right interface?

                I'm new with PFSense and TCPDump, sorry if it's not what you ask.

                I Run TCPDump and try to connect with RDP.

                    I guess I give up.  I could do the same port forward 1000 times and it would work every time.

                    Your network is in an extremely insecure state right now.

                      It looks like the NAT is working, to me.  No idea why you can't establish a session.

                        I put the network in this open situation for testing this NAT problem.

                        Thanks a lot for you help. I think I'll try to reinstall PFSense.

                          Sure looks like box your trying to rdp to, and was correctly forwarded by pfsense is sending RESET

                          So what does that have to do with pfsense??  Why don't you download the sniff and open it in wireshark.. But you need to look on the box to see why its sending RESET!!

                            Probably disallowing connections from foreign networks but he doesn't want to listen.  "It works fine from LAN."

                              Hi farion

                              Your dropbox-links are annoying, because they are no longer available - and therefore other users can not benefit from this post: your pictures are missing now :-(

                              It would help if you just attach pictures to your posts as other users are doing.

                              Thanks a lot in advance,
                              kind regards,
                              Tom
