    I have to setup a server inside lan, that will host a domain for web and email etc. However Ive had issues a long tim ago when lan users trying to access public service that are actually hosting inside the lan itself with Nat.

    Should I be doing DMC with the server? If so, lan users needs a file server and other internal services from Server. This is why I I believe more a setup of the server inside lan, but rules to have lan users hit the public domain.ca and can simply route back into the lan itself.

    What is my best setup here?

      @gstlouis That can be done with NAT or split DNS.
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/index.html

      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.

        Why you don´t place that servers in the or a DMZ?
        Why do you set up it in the LAN?

          Thank you for your comment. It looks like Enable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT will do what I am looking for. I will enable to see if this work.

            The users want to access the server for file sharing and other resources. Although this will serve as a web server, it's intensions are also to serve as internal server.
