Difficulties on pfSense 2.4.3-p1 and OpenVPN on WAN TCP 443
-
Hi. I have been trying to make OpenVPN work on TCP 443 since the day one that I installed pfSense. I've managed to get it working in pretty much any port and protocol I've tried, except on TCP 443. I knew that it could conflict with the webConfigurator port, so from the beginning of the installation I changed it's port to 8443, and I've even checked on Sockets that there is indeed no other service binding or trying to bind on WAN:443, only OpenVPN.
I've tried to connect on my phone and my notebook, but none will. Ironically, when I try to connect from inside my LAN, it works immediately. It only doesn't connect from outside my network.
I've checked my firewall rule on the WAN interface, but it's as it should be.In fact, when I try to connect to the OpenVPN on TCP 443, appears a strange connection on Sockets, with question mark (?) identification on the WAN IP:443 and the other end IP:port.
Basically, that tells me that it's not a problem in the end device, for it reaches the firewall. But it seems that pfSense, or OpenVPN, do not identify that connection as OpenVPN on TCP 443.I've tried everything I could find, even the port-share localhost 443.
If someone can give me some light, I'll be forever grateful.
Thanks.
My setup: OpenVPN on WAN, to TCP 443. Firewall rule on WAN: pass TCP any to WAN address on HTTPS (443).
Just remembering: OpenVPN works on any other port I tried. It doesn't work only in TCP 443 (though I never tried UDP 443).

Also, I've got Dynamic DNS on the configuration, so the client is set to connect to the DDNS.
