        that is not a valid fqdn win-bhskmdudnql - are you wanting people on the internet to go there and get forwarded to some server behind pfsense?  ARe you trying to access that on your own network?

            and that name is not valid on the internet.. you need a fqdn (fully qualified domain name)  ie something like win-bhskmdudnql.somedomain.com

            You can find a free dynamic dns to use.. and have that point to your public IP, and then sure pfsense can forward that into your server rfc1918 address.  But you have to use a fqdn if you expect users to get to it from the internet.  Or you have to use your public IP.
