      Hi
      we use pfsense virtual appliance in AWS for configuring site to site VPN ONLY. We configure IP NAT within
      VPN / IPsec / Tunnels / Edit Phase 2 which is needed across IPSEC VPN tunnel.
      These NAT statements do not appear under–> Firewall / NAT / 1:1  (and also not under 'outbound').

      Question: if I want to disable firewall function at -->  System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT  though it says it will disable NAT function too, can I still disable it without affecting my NAT configuration settings under IPSEC VPN?

      Thanks in advance.
      regards
      Rakesh

        No. NAT in IPsec is accomplished using pf on interface enc0. Disabling the firewall will also disable that NAT.

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