NAT reflection, what am I missing
-
I've read multiple post and have tried multiple settings, I feel as though I am missing something.
I'm new to Pfsense so please be patient with me.I have a both a http (for multiple web host) and a port 25565 (minecraft server) port forward. the http points to nginx for resolving and the NAT reflection works perfectly.
however the NAT reflection for port 25565 does not work.Port forward settings:
interface: WAN
protocal: TCP
destination: WAN address
destination port:25565
redirect target type: address or alias
redirect target address:192.168.24.xx
redirect target port:25565
NAT reflection: use system defaultSystem/Advanced/Firewall & NAT
NAT Reflection mode for port forwards: Pure NAT
Reflection timeout: (default:blank(2000))
Enable NAT reflection for 1:1 NAT: Checked
enable automatic outbound NAT for reflection: Checked -

@SteveITS said in NAT reflection, what am I missing:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/nat-port-forwards.html
the issue isn't with port forwarding, its with the NAT reflection.
I might not see how going through the troubleshooting for port forwarding can fix my NAT reflection issue but I will step through it.

@marshin it works from outside your network?
Check setting https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-firewall-nat.html#automatic-outbound-nat-for-reflection

@SteveITS I should have double checked that the server was listening on the default port.
sorry for making the post as there was nothing wrong with how Pfsense was working. I just had to change the port forwarding to the port the server was listening on and it all started working.
