      My home had a fixed live IP address and I installed a pfsense router for a gateway to share the traffic. My desktop get the LAN IP is 192.168.1.20. When I in the office, I want remote access to my home desktop. How should it be done? I can remote access to the pfsense router but not my computer. I also tried to configure the port forward but I duunno how port forward work?

      My study case

      Internet -> pfsense (..186.127) -> Desktop ( 192.168.1.20)
      Public IP address     LAN IP address

      How do I put the port forward setting to remote access to my home desktop?
      Could someone help??

        Go to Firewall –> NAT and create a portforwarding.

        What kind of remot access to your computer do you want?
        Depending on the remote-access software you need to farward multiple ports.

        We do what we must, because we can.
