Adding NAT rule via shell/console

[bouke]

Hello,

I did read about adding firewall rule via console [https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/adding-rules-with-easyrule.html].

I could not find any information about adding a NAT rule via console. However, I did read that "pfctl -sn" will list all the NAT rules [https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/viewing-the-full-pf-ruleset.html].

I am unable to use the web interface at the moment and need to add a NAT rule for this. Thanks.

That's only possible via pfSSH.php and direct XML editing. The easyrule Skript is only a small mechanism for quickly adding simple blocks on an interface (mostly WAN) but has nothing for NAT editing in any way.

Hard to really recommend it but if you really have no other option it is (just about) possible to add a NAT rule using Links.

Be prepared for frustration though!

But that only works if the webUI is still responding ;) Not sure if the OP meant that. And creating NATs via pfSSH isn't really nice either :D

Good point!
