      Hi, I hope you can help me,

      I have a Draytek router that has 2 wan connections and is currently nating to my lan. I have port forwarding for vpn and some redirects for email etc, I have tried to connect a Pfsense installation between the router and my lan and managed to make internet traffic work however I am having trouble making the redirects and forwards work. what am I doing wrong/what could I do better. Current setup is static public ip to the router nat to lan 192.168.2.254/24 to dual nic server with Pfsense 192.168.2.2/24 to 192.168.29.1

      Any help you can give me would be great thanks

        Not double NATing would be better.

        But if you're forwarding traffic to the pfSense WAN IP you should be able to then forward it from there to hosts on LAN.

        The Draytek might have some sort of DMZ mode where it forwards all traffic to an internal IP, the pfSense WAN here.

          Thanks Steve,

          Agreed double NATing is not whats wanted.
          The Draytek has a DMZ, I will give that a try.
