Issue with RDP NAT
-
Hello,
I'm attempting to setup a NAT to forward 3389 traffic to a machine on the LAN.I believe it's setup correctly, however when I attempt to connect from outside the network, it passes the inital connection stage but then hangs on 'configuring remote connection'.
Could this be a loopback issue?I am able to successfully connect to that machine from inside the network.
I've attached 2 images, one showing the NAT rule and the other showing the access rule.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Create a vpn connection, its more secure than opening up RDP to the world.
Think you may need to change it to tcp/udp, I'm not a Windows guy.

Agree with VPN, but at the very very least use a different External port forwarded to 3389 internal, also do UDP/TCP, UDP is used when available and faster, though shouldn't be required.
The portforward looks correct.
Do you have only a single WAN IP? Do you have anything special for Outbound NAT? Does pfSense have the WAN IP direct on its WAN interface?
