Roku TV Not Connecting Wifi with Outbound NAT Configured
-
I have a subnet of 5 static public addresses in which four of them have been setup as Virtual IP addresses. One is assigned to the WAN interface. I also have a few local subnets. I have an Outbound NAT configured for subnet 192.168.20.0/24 to be translated to one of the Virtual IP addresses. All devices tested on this subnet have their public IP address correctly translated/mapped. But, the Roku TV will not pass the Internet connection wizzard. I've confirmed that an IP address is assigned by pfSense DHCP on that Interface.
When I disable the Outbound Rule for that subnet the Roku TV passes the Wifi connection wizzard just fine.
Any ideas? Let me know if you need more information.

Well then how would it be working if not natting if its on 192.168.20 address.. Makes zero sense.. Your going to have to show how you have it configure.
Since what you say is just impossible... There is no way a rfc1918 address is going to talk to anything on the public internet without being natted to a public IP.

@johnpoz I'm referring to Outbound NAT. I'm using Hybrid mode. So, the Automatic Outbound NAT is matched when I disable the Manual one. The automatic Outbound NAT translate the public IP address to the one assigned to the WAN interface (the first public IP address in the subnet of 5 public addresses)

Did you clear states? If the IP is valid doesn't matter what it nats too.. Can you nat something else to that IP and it works other than your tv..
-
@johnpoz good morning. There are like 7 other devices in that internal subnet with the Outbound NAT to that Virtual IP. They all work fine.
I'm curious to know why the Roku TV keeps saying there is no Internet access while the Outbound NAT is enabled.

No idea.. Sniff the traffic.. You sure its not say dns related? Something else vs just the outbound nat.. Unless where you going is blocking the source IP?
Most of the time these devices check internet access via simple dns query to some outside dns server..
But if you say other devices are working fine in that network using your outbound vip... How and the F would pfsense call out your TV... Oh no F you - your not going to the internet ;)

@johnpoz I discovered the problem. It was DNS related. I had to Disable DNS Forwarders in General Setup.!

@johnpoz This is strange because in DHCP for the internal subnet I have configured external DNS servers.
