      In pfSense there are no port forwarding rules, only the two automatically created in Outbound.
      This is the WAN screenshot about rules.

        @WhiteTiger-IT In a normal setup, your router would forward those or any ports to the pfSense WAN-Interface and then you would need to port froward from there to your actual server. So you would need to portforward in pfSense too, doing double-NAT. But maybe your setup is different, but you haven't told us in your first post.

          I am now starting to configure pfSense in my "personal laboratory" to learn how to use it.
          The rules entered are those that I also viewed in previous posts. There are no other rules and these are used to access the server from my PC and to make updates.
          These are rules that I took from the official help.
          In DMZ there is an Apache with only the default page, to do the tests I think it is enough.

            @WhiteTiger-IT So you haven't changed any settings in pfSense (System - Advanced - Firewall & NAT), then pfSense is its own router and you have to do double-NAT, like I said.

              I have now created this NAT Port Forward rule.
              Is this what you mean?

                  I changed the NAT rule and didn't use aliases.
                  But now using the URL http: // IP-Address I get the Tunnel Connection Failed error

                      Last week I contacted the ISP that manages the firewall; they told me that they were no problems and that is pfSense not to have the ports open.
                      How can I check if it is true?
                      I can only use tools on the Internet and this tells me that the doors are closed on the public address.
                      If from pfSense Diagnostic I ping from WAN on the server, it doesn't work, but maybe this is not enabled.
