<p dir="auto">What is the problem? I can forward port 443 and it works, but I cannot forward 80......</p>

The Host Override done the job. I also find that I might have wrong DNS resolver settings: I choose both the "Network Interfaces" and "Outgoing Network Interfaces" to all.</p>
<p dir="auto">However, I do not understand why I cannot use Scenario 3 to access the website. The "Host override" option in DNS resolver override the IP address of the public IP to the webserver local IP, making it to Scenario 2.</p>

<p dir="auto">Classic case.<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHfAWY_jYbQ&amp;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Video just for you</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Or : Goto unboud settings, at the bottom of the page, create a host override.<br />
Done.</p>

<p dir="auto">But your web server is not on your WAN. It's on your LAN. Use the server's IP address as the Destination.</p>

<p dir="auto">Do I need to reconfigure UI to http protocol first?<br />
Then change UI port to 80 to reconfigure once and change port to non-80 for unbind the port 80?<br />
Finally change back to https and reconfigure once and change port to non-443 for unbind the port 443?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Just get it out of the way.<br />
And never use these port from "WAN", only LAN.</p>

<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1615875906677-dc01ea57-7089-40af-950c-f125522a4eff-image.png" alt="dc01ea57-7089-40af-950c-f125522a4eff-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">and the auto generated  firewall rule :</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1615875955380-b0b9a11a-6584-4134-a694-f06bd0dbdb91-image.png" alt="b0b9a11a-6584-4134-a694-f06bd0dbdb91-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">The destination address is - I created an alias called 'diskstaion2" point to an IPv4 that lives on my LAN.<br />
Why is your destination WAN ???</p>
<p dir="auto">Btw : just for good matters : move the pfSense http and https out of the way, like 81 and 444.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also : web server access is TCP only.</p>
<p dir="auto">edit : I also have a 'source' alias, called 'SYS_URL'. This one lists all the allowed IP addresses. In your case its probably "*" or everybody.</p>

<p dir="auto">I have an Apache24 server on my LAN,<br />
I am not meaning the GUI webserver of pfSense.</p>
<p dir="auto">Besides, I would like to discuss about the GUI webserver of pfSense. Seems I can access it from WAN if I uncheck the "Disable webConfigurator redirect rule" in Advanced Config</p>
