        @viragomann how can I reconfigure the router to forward incoming packets to pfSense now instead of the server directly,

        because before I reconfigure the router to forward incoming packet to the server windows 2012 by its ip adresse 192.168.1.10 and by the port 3389 but when I set up the pfsense , the ip adress of server 2012 become 10.0.0.10 and I change only the adresse of the server de 192.168.1.10 to 10.0.0.10 but it still the problem of cloesing, so what can do, I change the adress to 10.0.0.1 the adress lan of pfsense or what?

            I’m guessing there is a WAN router further upstream from your pfSense router.

            I have router-----pfsense----windows_servers2012

                You have to forward incoming access to pfSense WAN address (192.168.1.44) now, of course if the router isn't in modem / bridge mode.

                If pfSense does all the filtering now, you can forward all incoming traffic to it. Some routers have a DMZ option for that, others call it "Exposed host".

                    Yes. But I don't think your router is in modem mode.

                      What exactly is the make and model of the upstream device?

                      What is the connection into it, ADSL, Ethernet, ... ?

                      Do you have access to this device to change its config ?

                      The issue here is the device between the Internet and your pfSense box.

                        If your isp device was in "modem" mode then pfsense wan would be a public IP - not a rfc1918 address.

                            Maybe google the modem make, model and pfSense and see if anyone has managed to get it working.

                            You then need to set up pfSense to probally connect to the modem via PPPOE.

                            People keep trying to help you here and your not answering the questions.

                                  if your isp device allows for dmz host, then sure you can put pfsense wan IP as that.. Then any traffic that hits your public IP should be sent to pfsense - then your pfsense forwards would work.

                                  But I would HIGHLY suggest against opening up rdp to the public internet. If employees need to get into the work network while they are home on the road, then they should VPN in. Then they can access what they need securely.

                                    Try setting the device into modem mode and configuring the pfSense WAN interface like this:-

                                        Yes, the address of pfSense WAN interface. Already mentioned that here.

                                            My screenshots are for if you've set the router device to modem mode with PPOE.

                                            Same user ID & password as on the F660.
