      1.) yes, i have anti lock out rule (port 80) on LAN interface
      2.) the web server is on my home network.
      3.) I have a simple home setup, where pfsense is my gateway. I can reach my web server from local network but when i try to access it using ddns address that i create, it will not reach the web server

      0_1534141554203_88.jpg

      System - Firewall / NAT:
      Network Address Translation
      NAT Reflection mode for port forwards: Enable (Pure NAT)
      Reflection Timeout: (not specified)
      Enable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT: Disabled (box NOT checked)
      Enable automatic outbound NAT for Reflection: Enabled (box checked)
      TFTP Proxy: (not specified)

      other info :

      if i use this rule, nothing happen when i try to access xxxx.ddns.net either from lokal or extrenal network

      Firewall:
      NAT rule that forwards ports 80 to the local hosted web server.
      If: WAN, Proto, TCP, Src. addr: *, Src. ports: *, Dest. addr: WAN address, Dest. ports: Web Ports, NAT IP: Web Server, NAT Ports: Web Ports

      but if i change th dest add,, i can access my web server from local network but when i try to access it from outside, it will redirect me to pfsense web gui

      Firewall:
      NAT rule that forwards ports 80 to the local hosted web server.
      If: WAN, Proto, TCP, Src. addr: *, Src. ports: *, Dest. addr:xxxx.ddns.net, Dest. ports: Web Ports, NAT IP: Web Server, NAT Ports: Web Ports

      btw, sorry for my broken english..

        You have to set the webconfigurator to listen to other ports than you've forwarded to internal web servers.
        Go to System > Advanced > Admin Access

        Set a TCP port other than 80 or 443 and also check "Disable webConfigurator redirect rule".

          Probably testing from the inside using NAT reflection and hitting the redirect rule. Do all of that ^.

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

                Post a screen shot of your port forward. All of it please.

                    when im using local network, everything fine. i can access all my server.. but when i try to access from outside.. i got nothing. Then if i try to replace dest. address to xxxx.ddns.net , i will redirect to pfsense web gui instead..

                      @fendy : I remember that GUI style vaguely. .... you do upgrade your pfSense ones in a while, right ?
                      (If not, we have to deal with all the errors and bugs from all these old versions, and help becomes pretty impossible)

                      Edit : and where are the logs ??

                          I'm a real beginner using pfsense, and any help is much appreciated.

                          Let me give you a big advise : ditch 2.1 right away.
                          Use a current version. Live will be easier.

                          When you start using a PC today, will you be looking for Windows 95 also ? ;)

                              Consider doing a new install ;)
                              This way you know what its is to install something different as "install windows from CD".
                              The next time you need to re install pfSense for any reason, you'll be in a hurry (because your network is down at that moment) and you know what to do.

                              Btw : just for the record : why did you install 2.1 ? Where did it came from ? Didn't you find https://www.pfsense.org/download/ ?

                                Also where did you come up with this 200.10.1 ?? That is not rfc1918 space.. Its owned by

                                You do not just pull space out of thin air and try and use it, even if behind a nat.

                                Your HOME Network should be using rfc1918 space..
