                Yes we know - ask a specific question.. Have given you links to the book and the docs.. Its a simple firewall rule to allow ping to your wan IP. Its simple clickity clickity to forward a port..

                What exactly more help do you want? If you need someone to hold your hand then contact support and pay for such service..

                Such threads are very frustrating in that you say you teach computers yet can not read documentation for the most basic concepts.. Post up a picture of your rules that you set to allow ping to your IP.. And show that it actually got a public IP, etc. etc..

                Maybe you would have better luck in your native language section? I am not sure what else do you need - what part of the port forwarding instructions do you not understand. What part of how to create a firewall rule to allow ping do you not understand..

                You stated you got your PPPoE connection up and running - so clients behind pfsense can access the internet right... And when they go to whats my IP . org they get back the IP you think is your static IP, etc..

                  no sources in Turkish. Every computer knows everything. Everyone's space is different. How much do you charge?

                      I do not charge anything because I do this for FUN... ;) Sometimes way more than other times - threads like this just give me a headache and to be honest from some your statements weep for the future generations education ;)

                      I have given you all the info you should need, if you have specific questions than ask specific questions with specific details.. Post up pictures of the settings you have don that you feel are not working, etc.

                      Here
                      https://www.netgate.com/support/contact-support.html

                      This is your best bet - I suggest you get a support contract since it seems like your going to need it..

                        pfsense new learning. I'm not training this job. network is a different area of expertise. I'll just use the workshop for internet security. I'm sorry if you had a headache. A person cannot know everything. Tomorrow I'il send you the pictures.

                            So you're even running an old and outdated pfSense version, ouch.

                              I suggest you the docs and book tonight as well..

                              While I agree nobody can know everything... You would think a teacher would know how to do their own research for basic concepts... And someone in CS would have basic understanding of firewall rules and port forwarding..

                              Not asking you to script the firewall changes in python or something.. Its a simple gui, are you having problems with the English interface.. I don't think it has been translated to Turkish... Maybe that is something you could help with once you get your issues sorted.

                              More than happy to help with specific sort of questions...

                              edit:
                              Dude INSTALL CURRENT if you want any help!!

                                      That is not 2.4.4 - so why would you say your running 2.4.4 when clearly from the screen shots your on like really OLD version.. maybe 2.0 or 2.1? I don't recall exactly but its not even 2.3.x

                                      NO you have ZERO reason to be touching floating tab rules!!!

                                      First thing you need to do is actually install current 2.4.4 version of pfsense!!

                                        I don't think we are getting anywhere here, this feels more and more like a troll.

                                          You might be right Grimson..

                                          I looked up the name on the pic and while the livingdead fqdn doesn't resolve the www.ka..... does to an IP in TR.. So maybe its turkish troll, or maybe legit.. But where would he have possible got such an OLD version??

                                            The purple Status/Log/Help buttons date back to at least to 2.0.x
                                            2.1.x had grey square buttons...
