      I have a 1:1 NAT setup with an web server in the DMZ.  I have setup the WAN rules to allow 80/443 to the web server in the DMZ.  The web site is only visible from the outside what I have a rule on the DMZ interface allowing the web server traffic out.  As it pfSense is not making a statefull connection in both directions.  Any ideas?  I added a rule for the web server to communicate to ANY with ports 1024-65000 as a temporary fix.  But this then opens unwanted holes into the LAN side as well.

        use the DNS forwarder for the domain.

          It is enabled, but there is no domain yet as it is a test server at the moment.  How will the DNS forwarder help the situation?

            for the destination on your DMZ interface rule, tick the 'not' box and select LAN subnet.

            If I fix one more thing than I break in a day, it's a good day!
