      Hello,

      I'm trying to add a NAT entry with bellow settings:

      The issue is that the redirection it works only when I choose on Destination port range ComboBox a Predifined Value. If I choose "Other" and enter custom port it doesn't work.

        I would suggest you troubleshoot the port forward like you would any other

        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/port-forward-troubleshooting.html

        But here I just setup your exact rule.. And works just fine.

        Also!!!! I would not suggest you open remote desktop to the public, even if using a different port.. If you want to rdp to your machines from the outside - vpn would be the more secure option. At a min you should lock it down to only known source IP that you would be using.

        I had this open for like 10 seconds, just long enough to test it and show you that can work.. Not that its a good idea to ever do such a thing.

        You understand that windows remote desktop has had multiple security issues, has been all over the news as of late with remote access issues.
