Firewall HELP! Need ports opened.
-
So, I was a huge Endian Firewall Fan and recently decided to test out pfSense. So far, I like it.
One of the major issues that I am having is as follows and I have probably spent already 3 hours trying to figure out what is going on:
1. I can not open ports on the firewall. I tried to enter the rules using the GUI, and it just doesnt want to open the ports up for me.
2. I then thought it could have been my server behind the firewall, so I completely disabled the firewall on there, and the issue is still happening.I am just trying to open ports 80, and 443. But I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

Can you screen shot and paste your WAN rules in here? There is not much we can do to help unless we have a bit more details.

Attached are the rules I put under the Firewall. Should these instead go under NAT?
Basically, it is an exchange server that I am trying to open the ports for.
-
Configure it on nat rules.
at bottom of nat creation tab, there is an option to associate this nat to a rule.
Also change your pfsense gui port to https and any port other then 443.
This will prevent conflict between pfsense gui and your nat server https port.

Nope, same thing. Here are a couple of more attachments with the logs.
I have never had this much trouble setting up a firewall before.
If anyone can help, that would be great. If not, it is back to my old firewall for the time being.

You got it, Source port must be any to work.
good luck with pfsense, it's a GREAT firewall.

Your biggest issue is that is that your source port is not any. You will have the same problem if you did the same in NAT.
