        That doesn't tell us what you actually did... You HAVE to show us what you actually did, if you want help figuring out what you did wrong.

        Again!! Simple enough to sniff, takes all of 2 freaking seconds.. Traffic hits wan, traffic gets sent out lan or it doesn't If it does.. Then problem is not pfsense..

            Here I did a quick test to show you how easy this is to validate...

            Using canyouseeme, I sent tcp traffic to port 8007... You can see it gets to my wan.. I then setup a port forward for 8007 to my machine. Which is NOT listening on 8007, but still works for testing port forward as far as pfsense is concerned.

            I then sniffed on lan interface for port 8007, and my machines IP... You can see the traffic is sent - but then the answer is RST!! So to canyouseeme its connection refused.. But pfsense did what I told it to, it forwarded the traffic to that IP...

            So you need to validate if pfsense is sending it or not.. Once pfsense sends it - pfsense is doing what you told it to do.. If you whatever is not working.. There is something else wrong, ie PEBKAC...

            Here is the RST my client sends back..

            Your client may or may not do this, but if you see pfsense send the traffic to the port you forwarded to the IP you sent it too, then pfsense did its forwarding.. And your issue is elsewhere.

                      @kiancloud said in Port forwarding some port will work and some are port are not. please help:

                      to my wan and lan

                      So if the port goes out your LAN - its on your device... Has ZERO to do with pfsense, ZERO!!! Have already been over this!!
