      I have setup port forwarding on my box for port 25565 for minecraft. I checked using https://canyouseeme.org/ to see if the port was publicly visible and according to that it is. However, when I use the port test in pfsense it says connection failed and I am not actually able to connect to the server (from inside or outside and I have NAT reflection enabled). Attached is a screenshot of my configuration and there is an accompanying firewall rule. I have a static ip from metronet so I don't think double NAT should be a problem (but admittedly I'm fairly new to networking) and I've run through the troubleshooting. Any help is appreciated.
      I should add that I don't see anything in the firewall logs nor do I see anything in the state table so I don't know if the requests are actually getting through but, again, I'm still figuring out what I'm looking at.

        What port test are you using? 192.168.1.146 should report success on port 8443.

        You won't be able to test the forward from pfSense itself. But if you try some external test such as canyouseeme and then check the state table for :25565 you should see the NAT'd state with traffic both ways.
