      Having a weird issue (or maybe this is normal behaviour, but something I would like to change).

      I have setup port forwarding for certain programs.  When I access those programs/servers externally (e.g., from my cellphone) - those programs show either the server IP as accessing it (e.g., if the server is 192.168.0.10 and I am port forwarding from the internet to that port, the program thinks 192.168.0.10 is accessing itself) or the pfSense router IP is showing as accessing (192.168.0.1).

      I would like the real IP accessing (external internet IP from my cellphone provider) to show so I can log properly.

      Is this a pfsense thing?  Any options I can adjust?

      Thanks

        That is not how a normal port forward would work, so you must of setup some sort of source nat.

        Post up your forwards..
