      Hi

      I have a pfSense that have 20 public IPs added to it as Virtual IPs.

      Then I have added 1:1 rule that IP a.a.a.a will point to b.b.b.b internal IP.

      This works well, I can ssh to a.a.a.a and it will connect me to b.b.b.b and my firewall rules to open ssh or not for certain IP when applied to b.b.b.b on WAN interface, works perfectly.

      Now the problem is, when I have 2 VMs in same NAT, b.b.b.b and c.c.c.c, they are internal IPs, but they both also have external / public IPs.

      The b.b.b.b and c.c.c.c can communicate over internal IP, but not external IP.

      I tried to copy 1:1 NAT rule to vLAN interface that both b.b.b.b and c.c.c.c reside in, still no luck. Can't get the two VMs in my network to communicate via their correspondent public IP, like wget command straight up return "network unreachable"

      Also in my 1:1 reflection entry, I manually tried with NAT Reflection On and Off, no difference.

      Any advise?
