      Can someone maybe explain to me why I have a private WAN Address and whether or not there's any way to reverse proxy? I'm trying to connect to an internal web server using my public IP address, but it's not working.

      This post has some history.https://forum.netgate.com/topic/159751/haproxy-to-nginx-backend/3

      I'm so stuck.Thank you!

        Why is because you have pfsense behind a device doing nat, or your isp is doing nat that you can not control.

        Contact your isp about putting their device in bridge mode so that pfsense has a public IP.

            If your behind a nat, ie pfsense wan has a rfc1918 address, or even a cgnat IP 100.64/10 then no you would not be able to get to it from the internet - without the nat going on in front of pfsense forwarding the traffic to pfsense wan IP.
