Port forwarding problem!

Shuh · Jan 30, 2018, 6:01 AM

Pfsense respected guru!!! Please do not kick, as the situation is not always regular. Pfsense RELEASE 2.2.4-. Trying forward ports in the NAT and Rules, it does not work. Previously, everything worked. Two days ago changed ip on wan, and then stopped working. I open IPCM protocol and Pfsense answered on ping. Dropped the configuration to default, nothing helps. Help please what to do….

First and foremost, upgrade. What is your excuse for being on 2.2.4? (I love to hear them)

Don't set a source port.

Using this vertion? because there was no need for update, and everithing was working…

Tell please which release is the best for update?

Guess a few years-worth of patches and security vulnerabilities is "no need."

The latest. 2.4.2-P1

Don't set a source port on your port forwards.

Derelict · Jan 30, 2018, 9:46 AM

Please be more specific.

I have solved this problem. There are another problem. I got several Ip cameras. Ip adresses of cameras are static. Trying to connect them from the internet, it not working. I created the rule in snapshot below. The only thing is, DHCP range are x.x.x.15 - x.x.x.199, ip adresses on cameras are static.

No need for security patches to your firewall… And now let's open up the IP camera's to the internet.. Which of the 1200 some models of IP camera is use that has zero security and prob be joining the Persirai bot net in minutes ;) do you have?

And again - what part did you not get about the source port is going to be ANY... why do you have source port set to only 8024??

Then use a VPN, there is no excuse for opening these devices to the world.
