      I have been searching on this, but I havnt found an answer.

      I have a Dual Lan Pfense box setup like this:

      WAN –->  PfSense --> LAN (192.168.0.1/24)
                          |
                            -> OPT1 (Wireless 192.168.1.1/24)

      I have some ports forwards setup just fine from the public ip on WAN to the LAN subnet, but for the life of me, I cant get a port forward setup to go from the WAN Public IP to the OPT1 interface?  Anything special I need to do here?

      I've setup the port forwards just like the working ones going from WAN to LAN, and I have checked the firewall rules to log.  I can see the packets being logged as accepted in the firewall logs?  Anything I am missing here?

        Nothing special here. It just works if it's set up correctly. Show us your portforwardrules, your firewallrules and tell us what version you are on.

          I am running RC2.  Whats the easiest way to post my portforward rules and firewall rules?  Just post the XML that backup/restore spits out?

            After screwing around with it a little bit more, I realized that I have captive portal running on the OPT1 interface.  If I turn captive portal off, the NAT seems to work.

            Any way to have Captive Portal and NAT working on the same subnet?  I saw there is an option to traffic to/from an IP address is captive portal, would that allow this to work?

              It should work if you add your nat destinations as passthrough IPs or macs.

                Destinations are passthru MAC's so I am not sure what could be up… Let me know if I can post any info.

                  Try to add pass through IPs for these hosts as well.
