    Port Forwarding Not Working. Is it because of my WAN failover or LAN bridge?

      The sniff was done on the WAN interface. The floating rule must have been incorrect as it was not allowing all traffic out from the LAN bridge to the WAN (besides http/s), but was letting traffic in and to the DVR. Since the pfsense web configurator port itself is not part of the LAN bridge, it seems that's why it was accessible from the outside but nothing else was. I will recreate the rule tomorrow to show that it was the cause and post results. Either way, that rule was the only difference between a very similar working setup and this setup. I tested (refreshed) between each configuration change and nothing worked until I deleted the floating rule, which was the last change to make so that this setup matched the working setup. Sorry for the noob problem, but each new solved problem is a new learning experience and one that will not be repeated again.
