      Hello, I have nat reflection enabled, I followed the docs without adding anything, although I've chosen PureNAT for the record.

      The issue I'm having is that when I port scan my public ip from inside the network, I only get 3 open ports, 22, 53 and 80, even though the public IP I'm scanning should be going to a server with multiple ports, I can confirm that when I port scan from an online scanner or using an external network, all the ports show just fine.

      I even disabled NAT reflection on port 80 rule just to see whether it will not show in the scans anymore, but it's still there. Whether I add a new rule or delete it, it seems that I always get those 3 specifics ports showing. I checked almost everything.

      Anyone can think of what's going on here? Thanks a lot.

        So are you saying you have other ports set up with NAT reflection but they're not working? Or that you get those three ports regardless of NAT rules you set up?

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          I get those three ports regardless of the NAT rules I set up.

            Is there any rule that would allow access to pfSense's WAN from the LAN, maybe a floating rule?

              None, I checked, no floating rules have been defined,

                Still no clue on what's causing it, if anyone has an idea, it would be grand.
