      I have setup pfsense as my router and firewall. I have setup my zyxel VMG1312-B10D in bridge mode. Then I have setup pfsense with my PPPoE as WAN. I have internet connection with no problem. I tried to setup Dynamic DNS with noip.com. I setup the Domain Name then I setup the service in pfsense. After a few minutes I tried to access my pfsense homepage remotely by either the dynamic IP or the dynamic DNS domain name but it's blocked. I even tried to ping my dynamic ip externally but it's blocked also. I checked noip.com and my dynamic ip is updated without a problem. I went to System --> advanced --> Firewall &NAT and ticked the option "Disable all Packet Filtering" and everything worked. Obviously I can't keep packet filtering disabled so can anyone help?

        You probably don't have the proper rules on WAN passing the inbound connections.

        If it worked when you disabled pf it also disabled NAT.

        You'll likely have to be a lot more specific when describing what you are trying to do.

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

          The only thing I want to do is access pfsense homepage remotely by using dynamic dns. Nothing else. Please tell me what specifics you mean
