        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.

                                    STOP

                                    Are you going to use a DMZ or put your F660 into modem mode?

                                        Putting the other device into modem mode will mean your pfSense will get an internet routable ip address on its WAN interface which them makes things much easier to deal with :)

                                            You'll need to google it or maybe talk to the ISP.

                                            I don't gave the same device.
