(SOLVED)NAT Port Forward Rules disabled but able to SSH From WAN to PFsense Box?
-
Hi There,
First time poster.
Not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior but maybe someone here can help point me in the right direction.
I Decided I wanted to SCP something from one of my Linux Hosts while I was out so. To do this I usually RDP to my main machine and access the webconfigurator.
I have one NAT PF rule setup to allow me to RDP to this machine (Yes I know I should use the VPN Access server but my hardware does not handle it that well) and that is all.
I begin to set up a NAT PF rule to allow me SSH access from WAN to my Linux Host but connection is refused. No mater how many times or ways I tried to Create the rule it would not connect so I disable the rule.
At this point instead of trying the Destination port I selected for the heck of it I try good old port 22. To my surprise it opens a SSH connection using my public IP over Port 22. I then check the NAT PF rules and yes its disabled.
I go to the Advance Settings and disable SSH access to the PFsense box and try again….
No connection, ok good.
I re-enable SSH access to the PFsense box and again I am able to access the PFsense box from my public ip over WAN.
Obviously this is unwanted so I currently have SSH access disabled.
Please can someone tell me, is this the intended behavior or is this a bug I should file?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks!
EDIT: Not sure what was creating this behavior. Seems to have stopped...

What are you wan rules? Post them! Unless you have wan rule that allows the access creating a port forward does ZERO!
