Cannot access internal web server from outside
-
I have just installed and configured 2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64). It's a basic installation with NO packages.
I created an NAT port forward from my WAN to my internal web server on port 80.
However, I cannot access the web server from the internet. I can access it from my internal network.
I am also SURE that my ISP is not blocking port 80 as I just used the same connection to host my web server before I installed the firewall.
There's nothing showing in the firewall logs either.
I have included my config as images.
Can please someone help as I am lost.
Thanks

Go to system/advanced:
Under "webConfigurator" set your pfsense box to a different TCP port than 80… (Then remember it... )
-
And also change protocol to https. ;)
8443 maybe easy to remember.

Hi,
Thanks guys for the prompt reply.However, unfortunately, it did not work.
I changed the webconfigurator to https on a different port.
I also deleted all rules and recreated them (see attached pics).I don't know what I'm missing.
If you have any ideas, you are more then welcome to help.
Thanks

use tcpdump on console to see these port 80 packages arriving.
If you have a dsl router, configure pfsense ip as a dmz server on modem gui.

Port forwards override your web interface port, doesn't matter whether you change that. Go through the steps here:

Thanks guys for your help.
I managed to NAT port 80 successfully after changing the admin port to a port other than 80 and used SSL on a different port as well.
