      I have a Pfsense (freebsd) on Microsoft Azure vnet with 2 subnets 1 WAN 1 LAN, I purposely install a softether vpn server on the same machine for taking advantage of its ACL function.
      For Pfsense I need to use the 1:1 NAT feature for routing a virtual IP to another machine IP.
      Now I could RDP to a LAN PC and ping success for the virtual IP which corresponding to a physical IP also able to RDP through. However, if I connect through VPN then the NAT is not working...
      Here is my diagram, if anyone has the insight, please help...and big thanks.
      PS: I have set up 1:1 NAT rule for both WAN and LAN interfaces.

        On 2.5.1? If so, might be this.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
