Opening all ports for opt1 nic.
-
Hello,
I struggle with using pfsense and open ports for my tv decoder. TV guide works, but not the tv channels.
Its one cabel from the pfSense SG-3100 to the tv decoder, would it be possible to use opt1 nic or something and open all ports?
So that the tv decoder is fully open outbound towards getting connection?
Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

Remember the rule you found on LAN when you installed pfSense ?
Create the same one for your OPT1 interface and you have your "All outbound" rule.
Btw : this has nothing to do with NAT. You'll be needing NAT if the tv decoder needs to be made accessible( on some port) from the outside. Does the tv decoder manual asks for NAT ?

@gertjan yes, it ask for NAT

Ok, so inbound.Well, a NAT rules on pfSense is a NAT rule as on every e*@!#& router on earth. pfSense doesn't change or add anything to that.
The good thing about pfSense that it has an good manual about natting. It won't learn you what NAT is, it tells you how to do it.You need to know if your 'device' (tv decoder) needs to have port(s) to be opened. What's in the manual of that tv box ?? What does the ISP say ? Or the company from the box ?
Something very (highly !!) unusual these days : opening ports for a tv thing..
It's the box that gets the information from it's 'TV' servers, these servers are not pushing traffic to your box.Basically, you have to open ports when you start to host something that needs to be accessible from the Internet, or parts from it.
On the other hand, I do have a TV box that actually only works with my 'ISP' router.
Becauset hat stupid thing uses a special VLAN configuration and g*d knows what other strange configurations. So, fine to me : behind my ISP router I have 2 devices : this TV box and pfSense.This is what I mean : : https://forum.netgate.com/topic/150063/adsl-orange-pas-de-tv-%C3%A0-travers-pfsense - don't bother translating it : it's just a lot of pain ..... The issue was solved, of course.
