NAT Reflection/Loopback?
-
Hello,
I am coming off of an Untangle unit which did this natively but in pfSense I cannot figure it out. I like to be able to test WAN services on my servers/desktop behind the pfSense firewall on our LAN. So, using our outside WAN IP and or Public DNS name I can say test FTP, RDP etc. etc. When I try that now I cannot reach any of my outward facing services.
I remoted to an outside client machine and tested my services from their systems and everything is working fine. After a search, I believe this is called NAT Reflection or some sort of Loopback? I disabled the NAT Reflect but the "problem" persists.
Any ideas?

Note: NAT Reflection won't work for any UDP services you might have (yet).

Hmmm, I've done that but still cannot use my RDP/TCP session on myself.
Boooo, hisssss.
