NAT Port Forwards not working after restoring settings on new install.
-
Recently I swapped the HDD on my PFsense box to a SSD after the HDD started to fail.
When I replaced the drive I re installed PFsense and imported the backup I had.
Everything seemed ok until I noticed all port forwards are no longer working. Looking at the web ui and can see the NAT rules are in place as well as the Firewall rule created by NAT.After noticing this, I tried to create another port forward and the same issue stands. Can’t connect even though the rules are in place.
The IP addresses that the ports are beginning forwarded to are the same as before the HDD replacement / upgrade due to a static DHCP mapping and static mappings on the OS.
The only other change I have made is installing HAProxy so I can use SSL on another port. However as far as i am aware this should not affect the existing NAT firewall rules.
One plan is to possibly re-install PFsense and re-create the firewall rules and restore the raminging settings.
However before I take these steps, Can anyone advise what else i can check before i take the steps to go as far as re installing etc. -

First thing to do is make sure the traffic is arriving at the WAN. So I would run a pcap there so you can see it.
If it is arriving I'd check the state table to see if that's opening states and where. You should see the NAT translation in the state on WAN.Steve

I noticed couple days ago. Latest backups are limited. I restored backup from early 2022 and then restore latest backup. Then all was fine.
I use 22.05.

Hmm, not really sure what you mean by that. When you backup the config the complete config is backed up every time. It's not incremental.
