[Solved] I'm apparently unable to port forward...
-
Get a ping going to my IP... And will validate your coming from that IP..
keep it running with -t if windows...
-
I also "sniffed" the port 80, because that's where the web page is hosted on, locally..
internet > TCP 8889 (WAN) > NAT > TCP 80 192.168.10.6 (my webserver)
-
doesn't matter what you listen on locally!!! If it never gets to your wan then it can not forward it - PERIOD!!! Not rocket science here ;)
Are you pinging me

Seem you got ISP issues...
Run your continue ping -- while I sniff... And show you that I am answering..
-
here - I am answering you!!! IF you not getting it that is on your ISP..
-
I'm gonna shutdown pfSense and switch to Mikrotik to try something..
-
And your IP will change! Or you MAC will change - etc etc..
What part do you NOT get about pfsense not seeing traffic it can not FORWARD?? Pfsense has no control of what hits is interface or not... Is pfsense a VM? Or hardware?

it's hardware.

Dude don't worry about it - but Pfsense can not forward what it can not see!!! Period.. If pfsense is not seeing the traffic - then its hardware related or something upstream is blocking it.. Pfsense can not forward what it doesn't get, you can not see an answer to your ping if it doesn't get there..
Did you change it what is your IP now?
Is this your ISP?

@ninom4ster said in I'm apparently unable to port forward...:
am like that.. I want things to FUCKING WORK.
I don't want to debug anything.Nice.
If the traffic does not arrive on WAN there is nothing for the firewall to forward.
You are going to have to figure out what is going on upstream preventing that traffic from being sent to you. When you have debugged that, your port forward will work. Sorry that maintaining a network is sometimes work. Good luck with your ISP.
That packet capture is before rules, before snort, before everything. The connections from the outside are not arriving on WAN.

@johnpoz :

If it never gets to your wan then it can not forward it
Okay, okay... but I don't really understand how I can solve that...
I will soon grab an old notebook and do a clean install of Ubuntu Server with Apache on all the default settings, and also format my current pfSense box.... once again... just to see if the problem is my web server or not..
I don't know what else to try, honestly..
-
ah, I may also try the apparently less buggy version, 2.4.3...
-
It is not a bug - at least not in pfSense. You need to figure out why your upstream/ISP is not forwarding the traffic to you. There is nothing pfSense can do with traffic it never receives.
-
But wait.. isn't the Packet Capture thing supposed to show something up when I "sniff" the WAN? I mean, it's a local procedure, right?
I got confused when you guys told me "it can't forward what it can't see" because I didn't know if you were talking about the WAN or the LAN.Also, wasn't pfSense supposed to work out-of-the-box? =/
I'm almost sure that it was working perfectly when I first set it up weeks ago.. even port forwarding..As I already mentioned, it couldn't be my ISP. Port Forwarding works perfectly on my Mikrotik router (when I swap Pf with it).
What's the chance of it being a hardware problem? I'm still not running a Intel NIC since they're unbelievable expensive here where I live..
WAN is the onboard NIC on this MB (apparently Realtek), and LAN is a... (also apparently) Realtek generic gigabit NIC.
Cheers.

Are you saying you weren't packet capturing on WAN?
If so, do so, and report what you see there. Here's the deal. You are expecting connections from the internet to your WAN address on TCP port 8889. If you packet capture for that traffic ON WAN, test an inbound connection, and the packet capture DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT TRAFFIC then there's nothing pfSense can do. You need to get with your ISP and ask them why they do not forward the traffic to this device but do to that device. It's as simple as that.
If you DO see the traffic then we can work with that.
pfSense does work out of the box for a great many people.
And Realtek NICs are generally considered about as crappy as you can get, but they generally work in most cases.
If Intel is too expensive Broadcom is leaps and bounds better than Realtek.

The picture he posted was on his WAN.. There was nothing there to port 8889..
You want to meet the train engineer - hard to meet him if the train never pulls into the station.. So how could pfsense forward traffic to a device on your lan, if it never sees it on the wan.. This isn't freaking rocket science here ;)
You say it works on your old router.. Well that router going to be a different IP, its going to be a different MAC address of the device connected to the isp. Your isp could be filtering on unknown mac? What is the device your connecting pfsense too exactly what is the make and model number? When you connect pfsense to this device - you actually see the public IP on pfsense wan? 187.73.x.x ?? Or do you see some other IP like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x or 172.16-31.x.x ??
If you do not get the public IP yuo say is yours on the the wan interface of pfsense - then it is behind a NAT. And the device doing that nat has to be told to send the specific traffic to pfsense WAN ip.. or no pfsense will never see the traffic to be able to forward to your 192.168 box on your lan.
-
I understand enough about NAT. It is indeed exposed externally, since the WAN does get an external address. I know what I'm doing.
I just noticed that I got something wrong when I tried using the Packet Capture.. I was really tired and for some reason I thought it generated traffic itself, somehow.. (don't blame me, it was 3 in the morning..) so that's probably why it was blank..
I might try again another day.. Unfortunately I can't simply shutdown everything (to swap the devices) since my dad uses the Internet constantly for wotk..
Cheers.
