      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.

        @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.

        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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
