Have you tried to set it to that interface for the floating rule? You have 3 wans so that rule would need to float to be able to be accessed in all of the interfaces. Please enable logging so we can see where it fails also. All interfaces turn on logging and after we can search for 192.168.5.1 traffic

I have set the floating rule to Vigor as the interface, but I'm not sure which one I need to set to make it work.
When I ping the Vigor interface it works and is displayed in the ARP table for a while but not permanently.

why would you think it should be perm? The default arp cache is 20 minutes in freebsd/pfsense..
Why are you creating a floating rule? You don't need a floating rule, and you don't need your rule above your lock out rule.. Jut place your rule on your lan above your policy routing rules.
Here maybe this will help you understand what is happening.. Here is my setup to access my modems gui IP 192.168.100.1, since my pfsense gets public IP on its wan.
Created a vip (another IP on the interface) 192.168.100.2
Switched to hybrid nat so could setup outbound nat so traffic wanting to go to 192.168.100.1 was natted to my 192.168.100.2 address
My rules do not do any policy routing and allow the traffic just via normal default lan any any rule.
-
So I have now created a virtual IP with 192.168.5.4/24, which is one from the vigor subnet if I have understood it correctly, this should be correct.
then i created an outbound nat rule. i just can't enter 192.168.5.1/24 the pfsense always changes it to 192.168.5.0/24
Unfortunately it still does not work.
one thing is still not clear to me i have not created any special policy based rules but there are only the anti lockout rule and the two any to any rules and nothing more.
Which rule would I have to create so that I have access to the modem?

@Globaltrader312
I have never used PPPoE but why do you have two separate interfaces for the WAN and the VIGOR device? Seems they are based on the igb1 interface but PPPoE sais igb1.7.I get that the VIGOR device is in MODEM mode and simply passes the public IP through to pfsense. When I had an LTE router that was working in bridge mode (modem mode) all I had to do was to create a static route to that IP/32.
Destination : 192.168.5.1 /32
Gateway : VIGOR
Description : Static route to modem UI -
i followed the instructions and there i understood it like this because pppoe only has a virtual inertafce so pppoe1 on bge 1 i have to set a second interface on bge 1 with vigor static ipv4 192.168.5.3/24 1.7 is only vlan tag 7 for dialling in to Vodafone DSL

@Globaltrader312 said in Access Modem GUI Behind Firewall:
So I have now created a virtual IP with 192.168.5.4/24,
I didn't say to do that - I did that because my wan interface already had a public IP on it, I do not use PPPoe..
You need an IP that can talk to 192.168.5.1 on the physical interface that is connected to your device that your PPPoe runs on..
Do you also need a vlan tag??
-
@johnpoz
then i misunderstood that i thought that would be the solution
i added the interface vigor to bge 0 and gave this interface the ip 192.168.5.3 and with this and the outbound nat rule it does not work.i thought if i did exactly that it would work.
with my other interface where i use DHCP to get the fixed IP from the ISP i can access the modem without extra rules but not with the SVDSL MOdem.
yes i need vlan tag 7 therefor the interface is 1,7
pppoe runs on bge1 / ppoe1 and the interface vigor too -
@Globaltrader312 said in Access Modem GUI Behind Firewall:
yes i need vlan tag 7 therefor the interface is 1,7
you need a vlan tag for pppoe, but do you need it to just talk to the devices IP?? That seems unlikely to me.
Forget pppoe for a second. If you connect just say a laptop to this vigor device.. Does it get a 192.168.5.x address? If so then there is no tagging needed.

VLAN Tag 7 is only required for dialling in to the ISP to get internet and also the public IP.
no VLAN TAG needed for 192.168.5.1 /24
if I connect my macbook to the VIGOR directly then I only have to manually set the IP 192.168.5.5 or similar once then DNS 192.168.5.1 and then I can access it directly.

@Globaltrader312 said in Access Modem GUI Behind Firewall:

Well then why did you say you set a vlan
yes i need vlan tag 7 therefor the interface is 1,7
On the interface you created that has the 192.168.5.2 address?
-
I have the VLAN Tag 7 only on the interface 1.7 nowhere else.
I have created the interface Vigor for the connection to the modem and this interface has the IP 192.168.5.2/24 see screen shot
-
@Globaltrader312 so sniff on your vigor interface when you ping this 192.168.5.1 address from a client on your lan... Do you see the traffic go out, is it natted to your vigor address.. Which you have now changed from .2 to .3
Do you see a response?
So for example, here I am pinging that 192.168.100.1 address from device on my network.. You can see it is natted to the pfsense wan address I created of 192.168.100.2
If you do not see the pings going out at least, then no it not going to work because you got something not quite right in your setup, be it your outbound nat, be it your firewall rules with your policy routing.
If you do see it going out properly natted to your vigor IP you set, but no response - then something on your vigor device is not answering.
What firewall rules do you have in floating - could you have something blocking the traffic? I for example have a rule that blocks rfc1918 from leaving my wan, just being a good netizen - no reason to send rfc1918 traffic to my isp/internet if I typo something that is not one of my local networks. or my work laptop likes to try and talk to work IP and if the vpn is not up on it - it would just route out to my isp.
As to the reply-to being disabled.. You might also need to set this.. But maybe not since you don't have a vip setup.. But the sniff should tell us if traffic is indeed going out the proper interface and being natted to your IP so that your device can answer.

the only difference was that with the ER I had to use an extra lin interface where a second cable went to the VIGOR because the ER supports this with 2 interfaces on one ETH interface.
as far as the floating rule is concerned, I deleted it again because you said it wasn't necessary
I only have an outbount nat rule.
-
@Globaltrader312 Why would your outbound nat rule be on wan2.. Your interface is the vigor interface.. this is the physical interface that you put the 5.x address on that connects to the vigor device.
Your nat should be natting to that interface..
And for your sniff, set a host to 192.168.5.1 - the destination address your waning to talk too.. You don't need to see any other noise..
You create the interface per the instructions, since your pppoe. You put an IP on it, you nat to this IP..
Here is what I would do - pull out everything you have randomly clicked on to try and get this to work.. Follow the instructions. Create an interface. Put the IP on it, change to hybrid nat and setup an outbound nat for going to this 5.1 address to be natted to the interface IP you created.
These is the 2 steps defined in the instructions.
Where your setup differs is you have multiple wan interfaces, and your policy routing. So you need a rule on the interface where your traffic is going to come into pfsense that wants to talk to the vigor device. This rule needs to be above where you policy route out some specific gateway, be it a load balancer, a failover group or whatever.
Make sure there are no rules in floating that would interfere with your traffic. Also this 192.168.5 your wanting to talk to - this can not overlap with your lan network, nor any other local network you have attached to pfsense.
Now sniff on the vigor interface, with a host filter IP of 192.168.5.1 (your IP your wanting to talk to from this interface).. Do you see traffic going out, natted to the 192.168.5.x address you put on the pfsense interface you created.

I have done the following
I created an INterface again with the name VIGOR then gave the interface the IP address with 192.168.5.3 then I created the Outbount NAT Rule as in the instructions as in the screenshot unfortunately it only lets me enter 192.168.5.0/24 for Destination it always changes this after saving.
for Translation address I entered 192.168.5.3 which is the one from the Vigor interface.
As far as the rules about the Policy Based rules are concerned, I am currently stuck there, so I only have the two any to any rules and of course the gateway is specified there, the Failover GW where all 3 WANs are included as tier 1 2 3.
if I have understood it correctly, an extra rule has to be created there again, right ? only which one
-
@Globaltrader312 Why are you showing rules on wan2 - this has zero to do with anything.
Maybe this is all a translation issue?
Maybe you should ask for help in your native language section, because we seem to not be able to communicate??
As to changing your destination in an outbound nat - if you set the mask to /24 then yeah it prob changes the last octet to .0 - if you want to set the specific IP then the mask would be /32
edit: an an any any rule on a wan, is never going to be a good idea.
-
@Globaltrader312 Btw: The NAT Outbound rule is on the VIGOR interface, as per docu.

yes i need vlan tag 7 therefor the interface is 1,7
pppoe runs on bge1 / ppoe1 and the interface vigor too@patient0 How do you access the UI of the modem for WAN1 where you seem to have a public IP (DHCP)?
Have you tried creating a static route for 192.168.5.1 /32, using the VIGOR interface as the Gateway in the setup?
