        how are you testing that is working or not?

        Did you look at the troubleshooting doc?

          You have to create a corresponding rule on your WAN interface to allow the inbound traffic.

              Can you see the traffic being dropped in the firewall log?

                  Status > System Logs > Firewall

                  Just tested this myself against my own IP address and a known closed port, I see the block attempt just fine in the logs.  Are you sure you're testing against the correct internet IP?  I'm not trying to insult you, just a simple mistake.

                      There's a vital piece of information missing here. Is your pfSense behind another NAT router?

                        or is you isp actively blocking inbound traffic?

                            well if you have a pppoe interface your interface for the forward wold be the pppoe interface

                            I would not suggest you open up webgui to the public internet that is for sure.  If your not seeing traffic to your IP then its not getting to pfsense, so pfsense could never forward it.

                            You have rules above your wan rule that blocks pfblocker lists, so that could be blocking it?

                            So your cable modem is doing the pppoe?  And pfsense just gets a public IP on its wan interface connect to your isp device.

                              i configured pppoe in pfsense, isp cable modem working as bridging doing nothing just act as MODEM

                              just enabling web gui remote access to test

                                What country are you in?  I don't know if any US cable providers that use PPPoE anymore.

                                    ok after doing long searching googling success forwarded port 8000 and 8008 but failed for port 80 tried many times nothing happened. May be due to pfblockerNG doing something math with it so i decided to change http port for my DVR 80 to 8008. (BTW i changed pfsense webgui http port 80 before using port 80 for DVR).

                                    If anyone know about port 80 whats wrong please update.

                                    On my ios device App for my CCTV camera not working even forwarding port http 8000, so i tried with my trusty android and valla it worked. :)  ios you traitor wasted my 2 hours :(

                                    Why i seeing outbound Mapping dim rules can i delete all these?

                                    Thanks  acascianelli johnpoz heper kpa

                                        Why is the destination address on your 8008 port forward not WAN address?

                                        The answer is probably here:

                                        https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Port_Forward_Troubleshooting

                                        Check the default gateway on the 8008 DVR.

                                        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
