      Port Checker - http://prntscr.com/nm56um

      implies that the TCP test runs from pfSense to some device on your LAN, your game server.
      pfSense can't connect to it ..., the 192.138.1.118 device refuses connections from your pfSense, probably 192.168.1.1.

      In that case, its normal that your NAT rule won't work neither : the server doesn't reply.
      Make your game server answering to requests.

      Example : I test my Synology NAS on my LAN :

      5effb218-df54-4262-b2d6-58e74be443ba-image.png

      Port 80 on my Syno is open for connections, so the result was Ok.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Dude have already been over this... the link to troubleshooting port forwards... Does your super hub have UPnP enabled?

          Do a sniff of this traffic lets see only these ports only inbound 2302 and 27015 and 2305... Is that UDP or TCP or both?

          You showed a sniff that 2302 being forwarded, etc. etc..

          Here is what I can tell you - in the 10+ years have been here.. Every port forward thread, and there have been plenty has always come down down to PEBKAC!!

            @johnpoz the vorgin hub does not use upnp while in modem mode, from what i can find out anyway, there is no option to change anything in modem mode other than to switch back to router mode

            i have been through everything on this page https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/port-forward-troubleshooting.html

            and it is still not working

            im using udp/tcp as thats what was suggested and that option also worked when i was running with the superhub only

            ill post pics of sniffed ports 2302, 2305, 27015 and i also tried from my phone to sniff the port and still said error

              And you can see an answer was sent... So open up that packet capture in say wireshark.. Maybe your game sent back a RST... What was the sniff on your lan side - did you send it on to your game box? local IP? If so then the port forward is working!!!

              We have already gone over how to troubleshoot this - it takes 2 minutes to do..

              Here is the thing that test can only test TCP... If its UDP you can not test... So what is it udp or tcp? if you created the firewall rules... Then sniff when you run you run your game on both your wan and lan - do you see inbound traffic on those ports? Do they get forwarded?

              As went over already - turn on UPnP on pfsense - what does it show your game is asking to be opened... Does it work then, etc.

                @matt211 : you read my 'diskstation' ping test above ?

                Il expose it for a couple of hours on the Internet :
                URL brit.test-domaine.fr port 80 TCP
                So enter http://brit.test-domaine.fr in a browser and you'll see the default nginx (?) home page of my Syno (diskstation) - it hosts a web server, it's running on my Syno NAS, a device present on my LAN.
                For this to happen, I need to create a NAT TCP port 80 rule.
                .....
                (2 minutes)

                Done :

                ecc26622-37cb-434d-a151-d531f673df02-image.png

                Now, test for yourself : http://brit.test-domaine.fr

                (edit : I have a upstream Router, not a modem, so I had also put in a NAT rule in that device, that took me 30 sec max).

                edit : to check your ports (TCP only I guess) use world's most famous test site : https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2

                The result for me was :

                            That means there connections using that... And your other rules got hits as well..

                              @matt211 said in i cannot for love nor money get port 2302 and 27015 open please help:

                              i already have the rules created

                              Nice, but on what interface ? Why hiding it ?

                              As @johnpoz : packets are coming in, using these rules. So : what's doing 192.168.1.5 with them ?

                              Are you sure that the server on 192.168.1.5 accepts connections on ports 2302, 2305 and 27015, coming in from the world wide network (Internet) ?
                              It's rather easy to packet-snif on LAN for traffic to these ports, and what comes back etc.
                              Do you have some device on your LAN that host a server like my diskstation (a web interface - TCP - port 80 or port 443) : use that to NAT a rule on it's port, and prove this way that your are doing things well.

                                @Gertjan its on WAN and i am sure the server is accepting connections as when i use my default network setup ( virgin router only) the dayz server shows up to the community, but when i switch back to pfsense the server dosnt show
