        @kdmiller61 It seems that you will need to create a DMZ for your server...this might help you. https://www.netgate.com/resources/videos/creating-a-dmz-on-pfsense.html

              Can I configure multiple DMZ, due to some servers may be trying to use same ports like 80, 443 etc...

              Thanks for the quick responses

                @kdmiller61 I am sure...bare in mind how many Ethernet ports you'll need in your NIC...or you can use that switch.

                  Oh I think I see you're saying one NIC in for WAN and use two NIC out for like LAN, if that's the case this won't work, I bought a micro computer that came with two NIC's and no way to expand. that one of those little 12"x12" computers
