      Hi,
      from inside LAN I cannot access to server (always internal LAN) using the public IP address.

      I configured a rule in NAT -> 1: 1:
      Interface -> WAN
      External IP -> 1.2.3.4 (Public IP)
      Internal IP -> 10.0.0.38
      Destination IP -> *

      however when I access:
      1.2.3.4
      answers the web interface of pfsense.

      On pfsense the IP address 1.2.3.4 is configured as Virtual IP.
      Thanks.

          Hi,
          I followed the document and I enabled the indicated parameters, however, I can't log in with the public IP.
          in the we browser when I type:
          1.2.3.4
          the home page for the pfsense configuration is loaded

          Thanks.

            Hi,
            now typing 1.2.3.4 (into the web browser) the pfsense home page is no longer displayed but an error message regarding the inability to display a page.
            Thanks.

              Hi,
              I configured pfsense like this:
              NAT 1:1 from private IP to Public IP
              Nat Reflection Mode: PureNAT
              Enable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT
              Enable automatic outbound NAT for Reflection

              what did i do wrong?
              Thanks.

                I deleted the mapping 1:1, then I created the same rule again and now by typing the public IP the pfsense home page is displayed.

                the stranger thing is that after a few minutes, typing the IP again, the pfsense home page is no longer displayed but a page not found error message

                Thanks.
