      Still learning PFSense.
      5 VIP WAN IP's. 5 LAN IP's. All matched one to one.
      Only one LAN is being used for general internet usage.
      The other four LANS have Centos7 servers, one of which is WHM hosting a Cloudflare protected website.
      I cannot access the WHM site from my local network. It is available externally on any device or from any IP not associated with my LAN. One Neth and two Virtualmin servers and sites are all available locally.
      I have pfBlockerNG with DNSBL. I had Squid, but removed it.
      The problem seemed to start after I installed Snort, but it is only active on two of the LAN's neither of which is associated with the WHM server. I "can" access the WHM server via its external looking IP.
      I've disabled Snort and pfBlockerNG which were no help.
      To start with, it would be nice to know what element of PFSense is blocking the site and then what steps I could correct the issue with.
      Firewall logs are not understandable to a novice like me.

        If your trying to get forwarded back in from your wan IP, you would have to setup nat reflection for that to function.

        But if the server is local, why would you not locally resolve the fqdn to the local IP and just access it without going through the nat reflection nonsense.
