      I use pfSense 2-4-4.

      All is working fine (routing, NAT, rules in Firewall).

      I'd like, for a few minutes, to have routing, NAT on WAN Interface, but no rules in Firewall.

      I've used System > Advanced > Firewall & NAT > Disable Firewall.

      Firewall is off: it's good. But I'dont find how to activate NAT.

      Is it possible (having NAT without rules in firewall) ?
      If yes, how to do ?

      Thanks for all.

      Best regards.

        Did you read the hints there?

        "Note: This will also turn off NAT! To only disable NAT, and not firewall rules, visit the Outbound NAT page."

        To only disable firewall on WAN add a temporary "allow any to any" rule to the top of the rule set.

          Create a special rule ("allow any to any") named "temporary firewall disabled" on each interface is a good idea. I don't have think about.

          I don't have read the hints because I'd like to make the contrary (no rules with nat).

          Thanks for all.

          I'll test as soon as possible.
