      I currently have floating rules created with pfBlockNG to block the top spammers and an alias allow for the countries I'll be visiting. I would like to access my VPN to make changes to my firewall just in case and my Plex Server. The Plex Server in on manual port 40000 and there is a port forward rule that converts my WAN IP, port 40000 to my plex server IP, port 32400. I've added floating rules that I think will work. If I mess up I won't be able to fix it till I return home. I'd appreciate it someone could confirm that my setup will work. ThanksWedding-48.jpg

        Trust me, it's not a good idea to change your firewall through VPN. Make the changes before you go.
