      Hello, new Netgate appliance, new to pfSense and just getting this new device configured. Fairly smooth, except for the following: I have a Synology DS in Chugiak which backs up daily to a remote Synology DS in Blacksburg. I am now placing the Netgate appliance between the cable modem and my router in Blacksburg. I must be missing something in configuring the port forwarding and firewall rule on the Netgate. I want to allow all traffic from the specific IP address hosting the Chugiak DS through the netgate to the Blacksburg DS, all ports. I have read through the pfSense documentation regarding both port forwarding and firewall rules, plus searched the forums. I have deleted and properly recreated port forwarding rules, rebooted the netgate. What am I missing? Thank you for your help!! Screenshots of my current configuration are attached: 0_1549205786283_pfSense problem_1.png 0_1549205800636_pfSense problem_2.png 0_1549205807936_pfSense problem_3.png

            Do not pay attention to the Russian language
            Everything is clear
            What ports do I need to forward for Hyper Backup
            What you're doing is wrong.

              The first picture shows that pf is blocking tcp port 6281

                @konstanti Yes, I know that. Hyperbackup is set up correctly. I just need to get the connection through the netgate to the Blacksburg DS. Without the netgate in the system everything works perfectly.

                  This way, the required ports are forwarded
                  Everything else need to disable and remove

                    @konstanti OK, so a single port forwarding rule without a specified single host defined. No corresponding firewall rule is required?

                      pf will create the rule automatically
                      for example

                        Hmmm ..... it's still not going through. I'll delete the rule again, reboot the netgate and start fresh. I appreciate your help. Be back after the fresh start ....

                          We have to start over

                          1. remove and disable all that in the pictures ( this is wrong)
                          2. create port forwarding for 6281 (nat / port forwarding)
                          3. check that the rule on the wan interface also appeared
                          4. try to connect

                          how is port forwarding configured on the router ?

                                @akjim Port forwarding on the router is good, this traffic is being stopped by the netgate appliance only. If I remove the netgate appliance (pfSense) then everything works correctly.

                                      and I need a full log entry.
                                      to see what pf is blocking
                                      Status/System Logs/Firewall/Normal View
                                      where you will see :interface, source, destination, port, protocol
