As to switch to secondary wan? For a port to be forwarded, pfsense needs to see the traffic hit the interface you setup the forward on.. How your overall network is setup - have no idea, or what you might have in front of pfsense that could limit something from the internet talking to a pfsense wan IP so it could forward traffic.

of course i made the NAT forward/outgoing and rules per the above but using the wan2 interface in place of wan one. the rules must be good, because when i switched, the device immediately went from symetric nat to none

wan2 connects to a cable modem so received the ip from the isp on the pfsense interface. that is the address i see on the hnt public ip address.

wan1 has a fritzbox connected via eth to a fibre converter. the ISP provides a pppoe connection with a vlan. (tried a direct connection using pppoe with j1900 but performance was terrible) The lan side of the fritzbox has a 192.168.x.x connection and the pfsense wan1 plugs to that. the hnt device public ip is the isp address on the fritzbox fibre converter side.
