      Hi all,
      I recently Installed Pfsense under Proxmox,
      i am having issues with my torrent it keeps saying that firewall is blocking and port is not open, this was working fine on ESXi, does proxmox firewall blocks by default? i tried to disable but didint work!
      My setup is very simple, since i just did the basic configuration!
      here is my Rules:

      maybe am im doing something wrong here… UPnp is disabled, so i just want to foward that specific port, my torrent uses port 45682
      OpenVPN seems to work since i can connect successfully
      thanks in advance

        No idea about proxmox. Where is torrent running? Even if you opened the port on PFSense, where is the packet going? If you're doing NAT, you can't just open a port, you also need that port to be forwarded.

          Its working for now, at least there isnt problem with the torrent, i have made  a NAT to my Computer running Torrent client, but for destination IP i would like to be all PC´s on LAN, how can i do this, only with Alias?

            You can not forward the same port to multiple PCs..  You would have to use different ports for all your different IPs behind pfsense you want to forward too, say 45683 to 192.168.1.100, 45684 to .101 45685 to .102, etc..

                That is not a pfsense thing, that is a general NAT thing.. You can not forward the same port to different IPs behind the nat at the same time..  Doesn't work that way.

                    You can open a port for an entire network, but when you're using NAT, you have to forward the port and you can only forward to a single IP.

                      And the destination of a WAN firewall rule for a port forward is the inside, "Real" IP address of the host, (and the destination port is the inside, "Real" listening port on the host) not WAN address.

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