      Is there a way to enable NAT Reflection for UPnP entries? I have been unable to find anything other than a couple threads that just say "this doesn't work" - but not why, or if there's a way to enable it.
      The router I had prior to upgrading to PFSense was able to provide this without issues.

      The current program I am having an issue with is Factorio (www.factorio.com).
      It uses a Server Browser that enables people to find and connect to the server easily. However, this browser always uses the external address (via UDP).
      I use UPnP for games I host, such that the port forward is removed once the server is no longer up (they're only running for gaming sessions) - with a UPnP management tool that allows me to easily open/close ports for multiple things.

      Obviously, as the reflection is not available for these forwards, I am unable to connect to my own server from within my own network.
      I would appreciate any information about enabling this functionality! Thanks

      (Note: Running 2.3.2)
