      Hi,

      I was wondering if anyone on here can shed some light on my issues.

      I have PFsense 2.0 running on Alix board and would like to port forward HTTP request to a content filtering server.

      My PFsense 2 Lan and Content filtering server are on the same subnet.

      I have configured a simple nat rule:

      Interface: LAN
      Protocol: TCP
      Source: Any
      Source Port: Any
      Destination: Any
      Destination Port: 80
      Redirect Target IP: 192.168.1.2 (Content Filter server)
      Redirect Target Port: 8000

      But, I am having problem getting this to work.

      I set the gateway on the workstation to that of PFsense LAN.

      I would appreciate any assistance.

        Well I solved the issue.

        For anyone experiencing the same problem, make sure you create a NAT outbound rule  ;)

          Pro Tip: If you create a NAT entry first a firewall entry will be created automatically for you by default.
          The pfsense GUI has a small learning curve. Most firewall distros don't have a separate NAT entry GUI than the firewall GUI.

            This only works for port forward NAT rules. With 1:1 NAT you still have to create the rules.
