      Hi everyone,

      I have a Netgear Stora NAS running inside my network, and whenever it's plugged in it seems to somehow override the existing NAT, firewall and HAProxy rules and settings on pfSense and take over HTTP and HTTPS traffic on the WAN.

      What I'm trying to do here is use HAProxy to redirect several subdomains that all resolve to the same WAN address to the relevant internal addresses (pfSense webgui over SSL, freenas, apache - three different machines), and it works magically as long as this infernal NAS remains unplugged from the network.

      Rebooting pfSense will fix this, however after maybe two minutes all HTTP(S) traffic reverts to the Stora. As you can imagine, it's frigging annoying.

      My question is this - how could it be doing this? Is there anything I can do in pfSense to disable LAN devices from overriding the firewall/NAT/HAProxy rules?

      Cheers
      Michael.

        Do you have UPnP enabled?

        If so, disable it on pfSense or on that box.
