      Hello all,
      I'm using a Zotac CI323NANO, installed pfsense on it.
      I have access to the outside but I can't make port forwarding to work.
      The old linksys router has all ports defined, and works very good.
      The pfsense one does random stuff. After I reload the rules, port forwarding works for a few seconds, then everything times out and doesn't work. I'm testing it for some webpages that are on some LAN servers inside my network.
      I tried with linked rules, I tried passing everything. I have no idea why it doesn't work. My setup is nothing special. We have a fixed IP. I can access all webpage servers from inside the network on their local IP.
      Also we need to access these servers with a domain name that resolves our IP. I tried with both optons for NAT reflection.
      Where should I look for these problems?

        Nevermind…I solved it.
        Forgot to enable NAT Reflection from System > Advanced, Firewall/NAT. Seems stable so far.
