    Hi,
    I am new to pfSense. Till now I have used OpenWRT on RaspberryPI. Now I want to try Netgate 1100. My WAN connection is 1G down and 200mbit up. I run a lot of UDP traffic (livestream SRT) from WAN to LAN and vice versa. Is Netgate 1100 OK or will I have problems?
    I am not an Network engineer, have some basic knowledge.
    What I can not do is port forwarding from WAN to my local machine. With openWRT it was easy.
    I tried NAT

    but I can not access it from my subdomain like before (from WAN)

    Second question is do I still need separate NginX Reverse Proxy? Can I have it on Netgate 1100?

    I tried to google find and forum find answers, but I just can't, or I am a bit lost.

    Grega

      @video2go The 1100 is not going to give you full 1 Gbit speed.

      Re: port forwarding, the destination address should be your wan address. Packets arriving on WAN are sent to the NAT IP.

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
