      Hello guy's,

      i only have one nic, and 2 IP's.
      One IP for ESXI, one IP (virtual MAC) for Pfsense.

      VMNetwork with vSwitch0
      Subnet with vSwtich1
      and the port groups.

      I was able to install everything and pfsense ist doing his job perfect for the DHCP and Internet for the VM's.

      I disabled the Rule that blocks the private network, also i created a rule that allows the port forwarding. Even the log gives me a green sign back.
      But i cant reach the server.... Even https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ say it is closed.

      Any ideas? Thanks a lot ;)

        It's opening state as expected. You can see the port forward is also working as expected by what's in the state.

        Check the state table in Diag > States for the associated outgoing state on LAN but it will almost certainly be there.

        Most likely is the target device at 192.168.1.4 is blocking the connections that come from outside it's subnet.

          Hi stephenw10,

          i checked under Diagnostics / States / States

          The Port don't show....
          443 and any other does.

          When use the Network VM Network direct to the server it works fine. So the firewall the Server-VM works fine.

          I think will one simpe rule but i can't finde it :(
          I tried even Outbound Hybrid, maybe it's on Hetzner Side or i am do noob for that 😄

          Thanks for helping me!

            The states might be closing quickly. You would need to be trying to open a connection to the server whilst checking the states.

            Do you see any blocked traffic in the firewall log also?
            If there is another route to the server and that works is the server using pfSense as it's default route? If not you probably have some asymmetric routing.
