Can't get Bedrock Minecraft server to work
-
I have my dedicated server running on Windows 10 Pro on a machine dedicated to this task. The machine running the server is on a seperate interface (LAN2) from the machine that I am using to connect to the server (LAN1). I have set the server to use port 25565 like Java Minecraft, forwarded port 25565 to my server computer (Static IP 192.168.2.11) and enabled NAT reflection. I can see the server with full bars and even see a player count, but I cannot connect to the server. I have yet to try it from outside of my network to narrow it down to a possible NAT reflection issue as of yet. I had no issues doing this on my Netgear router that I had, so I assume the issue is something with the PFSense box. I am still new at this and could definitely be missing something simple, but my Googling has unfortunately already been exhausted. Any help would be appreciated!

Not very clear.
What have you hooked up to what ?
What are the pfSense LAN interfaces used ?
Network settings for each interface ? Firewall rules ?
If multiple pfSense interfaces are used, you don't need to NAT anything, just a firewall rule on the interface from where you connect from. -

I have a PFSense box with 3 NICs in it, WAN (to the modem), LAN1 to a L2 switch (hub) that connects three other desktops (192.168.50.5 .6 and .7) LAN2 runs out to a router in AP mode (pretty much just a dumb switch). Two computers are then connected to this AP/Switch (192.168.2.5, and 192.168.2.11). The server is running on 192.168.2.11. I cannot connect to the server from my desktop (192.168.50.5). I have not tried other devices within my home network. I can confirm that I can connect to the server from my laptop at work.
All of these devices have been assigned their IP addresses from outside of the DHCP pool. I have forwarded port 25565 (the port I have the server using) to 192.168.2.11 (the computer running the server) as seen in the screenshots I posted before. I can send screenshots of other settings on your request.

What is are the firewall rules on LAN1 ?
The default rule on "LAN" (your LAN1 ?), when you installed pfSense, permit you to connect any network on he planet, your other local networks, like LAN2, included.@T3Trinity said in Can't get Bedrock Minecraft server to work:

Not needed, as you have set up correctly a NAT rule from WAN to LAN2, IP 192.168.2.11 - port 25565.

That's my LAN1 under Firewall. Other than that, I am not sure what to do.

Your LAN firewall rules are fine actually.
The last rule even informs that you have IPv6 traffic, coming from LAN_net going to "everywhere".
The before last rule : same thing, for IPv4.The second rule is identical to nest (test - second) rule here :
Instead of writing 192.168.50.0/24 you could use the build in alias "LAN_net"
My PORTAL_net is 192.168.2.0/24When I activated this rule, and visited an AP who lives in my Wifi portal network, using 192.168.2.2, and TCP only traffic, you can see the counters start to increment. Im' visiting this AP from 192.168.1.6, a PC on my LAN network.
I understand, your second and third rule are just test rules.
The second rules shows cleanly that 187 KBytes of traffic passes from LAN network to the LAN2 network.When you ping your server, these two will not get used, but rule number 4 and 5 will, so you should be able to ping your server from LAN.
Looks to me that your game server refuses connections coming from your "192.168.50.0/24" == LAN network

Not exactly sure how to go bout further troubleshooting this either. I am not sure if this pertains to the problem, but I am not connecting to the server vis 192.168.2.11:25565, but by my DDNS domain which resolves to my public IP address. So I am connecting from my private network, to my server through the internet? Kinda weird and I'm not even sure if I am allowed to do that now that I think about it lol

That was it
