      It's not really recommended to post the real public IPs here. The info that all except pfSense are in the same subnet with a separate gateway would be sufficient.

      Why did you set a destination in the 1:1 NAT for the Safeserver? The own public IP makes no sense at all.
      However, that won't be the problem, I think.

      Your firewall rules page shows the interfaces "Safeserver" and "Publicserver". Are the VMs really connected to separate interfaces on pfSense? That cannot work, at least not with the server IPs shown in the NAT rules.

        Ok, thanks for the information

        Why did you set a destination in the 1:1 NAT for the Safeserver?

        I think it would fix my problem.

        The own public IP makes no sense at all.

        How could I fix it, that every vm has it own public ip?

        Your firewall rules page shows the interfaces "Safeserver" and "Publicserver". Are the VMs really connected to separate interfaces on pfSense?

        No, they are not connected, that are the old interfaces (from beginning, but not plugged in (link down via ProxMox)

        That cannot work, at least not with the server IPs shown in the NAT rules.

        How can I do it?

          The destination should be any if there are no special reasons for to set specific one.

          The rest of the 1:1 NAT rule is fine. One external IP to one internal.

          Ok, if the server are both on LAN within the same subnet there is no problem.

          Test the access again with the corrected NAT rule.

              its not working. the vms can go out.
              only project is reachable.

              here is the virtual-ip configuration

              and the interface
              interface.png

              Did i something wrong? Or should I ask my hoster, if any feature is missing?

                Are you sure, the safeserver is responding to the access from the internet?

                To investigate use the packet capture tool from the Diagnostic menu on pfSense.
                Take a capture on LAN interface while trying to access the Safeserver from outside.
                If you see nothing take a capture on OPT1 to check if the packets arrives pfSense.

                  00:07:12.007358 IP 5.100.XXX.XXX > 144.76.93.234: ICMP echo request, id 6, seq 4, length

                    so i thing, something with the redirection is broke. (maybe the nat 1:1)?

                      You have not allowed ping on OPT1. Your rules only allow http and https. So you cannot see a ping on LAN, cause pfSense blocks it.
                      So either test with http or allow ping.

                        now it should be allowed

                        but there is no difference. No incoming ping in LAN and no incoming https.

                          Strange. Yes, it should work.

                          What if you add a usual port forwarding rule to OPT1 instead of the 1:1 for that server?

                            nothing will pass.

                            no https response from the projectserver or the safeserver.

                              is there any other method to make a firewall.
                              it must not be efficient, it must only work.

                              every vm must have its own rules and use its own public ip4 addresses.

                                No idea. That is straight forward.
                                I'd drop that installation and start from scratch.

                                  i think thats the best method.
                                  i will try it later - i have to sleep.

                                  could you explain me, what i have to do?

                                    Just make a new installation of pfSense and configure it as you did before.
                                    Sometimes anything go wrong and you cannot find any reason.

                                      same issue like the installation from yesterday. Projectserver is reachable, Safeserver not ...

                                        Did you exchange external and internal IPs now deliberately?

                                        Suspect saying to have no access to Saveserver as Saveserver was before 172.16.0.3 and now it's 172.16.0.2 (forwarded from 144.76.93.234).

                                          yes it was deliberately, but it isnt working and i dont now why. im wondering, because the projectserver is always reachable.
