      Hello everyone,
      I'm currently trying to allow outgoing connection to ftp through pfsense. I have the following configuration:

      LAN1              WAN
            \            /
              Pfsense  – DMZ
            /           
      LAN2              WAN2

      I want the Ftp connection to go through WAN2 only. I did the following rules:

      • Allow TCP/UDP from LAN2 Net:any to 127.0.0.1:8000-8030
      • Allow TCP/UDP from LAN2 Net:any to any:6000-7000
      • Allow TCP/UDP from LAN2 Net:any to any:20-21

      In my filezilla, I selected active mode.
      I manage to connect to the FTP but I can't list the directory and can't seem to find anything more blocked in the log of pfsense. I tried with FTP-helper enabled or not enabled on LAN2 but without success.

      What am I missing? Is there anyway I could improve the previous rules?

          to understand couple of things.
          the rules you applied are giving for LAN2 Network devices access through the pfsense firewall to any IP with the specific ports as 20-21 and 6000-7000 and also access to the Pfsense localhost FTP helper ports.

          so what is relation  between the rules to the cause?
