Cannot ping or access from WAN to LAN

nikpony · Feb 16, 2022, 9:12 AM

Hello to all,

How can i have access from my WAN to any LAN devices?

The opposite is allowed.

There is no any rules that affect this. I have try to leave all access from/to WAN/LAN but this didn't helped me.
Probably NAT restrict it but, i am not sure.

Also, i can't ping the pfSense LAN address.

Thanks in advance.

@nikpony from where exactly - out of the box pfsense does nat, so you wouldn't be able to get to any lan IP unless you did a port forward.

Or if you had disabled pfsense from doing nat? Also out of the box pfsense blocks rfc1918 as source of traffic to anything you might allow on wan.

So if your on some device in pfsense wan and its an rfc1918 address - you would have to disable that rule on wan to allow or even port forward to anything behind pfsense.

So more details of exactly what your trying to allow and from where, just some local wan network, the public internet, etc.
