      Heya,

      i'm having a problem opening ports (and port forwarding also) on pfsense 1.2.2.

      i have an internal server (CentOS) that is running openvpn (UDP 1194) and ssh (TCP 22), both services respond properly on the internal LAN, but any WAN connection gets denied (timed out).  i've followed the procedure of adding port forwarding and firewall rules to a tee, even playing around with manual Nat, but not matter what, the ports won't open up. an nmap of the 2 ports say their both filtered and at least ssh has worked before when i was running 1.2.

      i attached some screenshots of my rules/port forwards

        You have chosen (any) in the NAT Port Forwarding window. Try to use “interface address” so that the rule does not get confused with LAN.

          switched it, still no change :(

          at this point i've also tried a reinstall, i get a notable error trying to install grub, but i just skipped it instead, but far as i can tell, the rules are being written out, what file would the rules be written to? nvm, found it, looked like all the rules were fine
