Portfoward not working but IPSEC VPN works, something im missing?
-
Hi All,
i have a new pfsense setup im trialing, im very familiar with sonicwalls but this is the first PFSENSE i have setup. im trying to port forward to 3389 to a testmachine i have setup. Config looks like this
Anyway setup is as follows
AWS VPC
172.16.0.0/16Private
172.16.0.0/24Public
172.16.1.0/24I have an internet gateway to the PFsense on the public side of AWS
PFsense
private ip: 172.16.0.254
public ip: 172.16.1.116, 52.65.x.x.x (not giving out public IP yet)setup is set to port forward
NAT: dest = wan address, Port 3389, translate to 172.16.0.99
Firewall rule = 3389 allow allWhen i test externally it doesnt work. via 52.65.x.x.x
When i connect to a IPSEC VPN i can see the other network, and conect to RDP on 172.16.0.99
When i diagnose using test port, it says it can reach port 3389 if i select interface LAN.
So it seems maybe im missing something simple as when i connect to VPN i can see the other network. I should add i have changed the ip address on the VM to
172.16.0.99
255.255.255.0
GW 172.16.0.254 (LAN address of pfsense)Any help is appreciated

Ignore i was using the WAN IP address to create the rule, when i should of been using the public facing local IP
which in my instance was 172.16.1.116
