possible problem or misconfiguration

If you mouse-over that it shows you the linked firewall rules created by that port forward.

The two lower rules don't have that because you selected not to create a linked firewall rule when you created them.

See: Filter Rule Association here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/port-forwards.html

@stephenw10 beat me to it ;)

How come I chose not to create an associated firewall rule?
As I only created one rule and duplicated it several times then corrected it?
Is there anything that can be pressed to connect and if so where is it located?

Also does it matter if they are related or not? Are there any advantages when they are connected or is it just a guideline?

Sorry for the dumb questions just trying to understand exactly how it works and thank you for your time.

And there is your answer.. I don't even think it lets you copy a nat rule.. Maybe on the new 24.03? But to create linked rule, the nat rule would have to be created.

It lets you create a new one based on an old one.. That would should create the new association, if you left that selected.. And changed the interface to wan 2.
