        Just a "friendly" advice, dont "put" your public ip address on a public forum, also, PLEASE change the default admin password of your pfSense

          You could try connecting from a machine in the LAN of your router. This would prove your pfSense portforward and firewall rules.
          You must have something right because I am able to connect to your pfSense box on https://redacted:18474/

          Edit: Yes change your Password!  ::)

          Though that did enable me to see your port forward in now on port 24000 and for me this returns: "invalid request" so perhaps your AP has a restriction on where you are allowed to connect to it's admin interface.

                I've enabled logging on the firewall rule associated with the port forward and I can see my requests being allowed but nothing is being returned.
                Have you set the AP web interface to port 20000?
                Another possibility is that there is no return route. Though that seems unlikely.

                  port 3475 access router is open (canyouseeme.org)
                  port 18474 access pfsense is open (canyouseemee.org)

                  port 20000 is closed
                  according to the nat rule it must be open or i'm i wrong

                    And again!!!  Can you connect from your lan machine to http:\192.168.1.2:20000

                    Not sure if you just making these ports up or what?

                    You can do a nat all day long - if thats not the port its listening on its not going to work.  Nor if you have the firewall wan rule that allows the traffic its not going to work either.

                    I find it unlikely that your isp is blocking that port but allowing your other 18k port something.

                    Other issue you can run into is if your router in front of your pfsense is blocking that port specific, or is forwarding it to something else that doesn't work then it would show closed, etc.

                    We are at three pages on something that takes literally 3.2 seconds to do.

                    edit - also as mentioned already its possible your AP blocks access to this gui from network other than its local network, etc.

                          What specific device is this so we can look up the manual to see if it blocks access to its gui, etc.

                          edit:  this has really gone on way too long.  If you PM me your ip and login info I will get in and take a look.

                            Ok, looking at your pfSense config I see you are using a static IP on your AP. Have you set a gateway and DNS servers?
                            If you haven't then it will not have a return route for web requests except that from inside it's own subnet.
                            That is what we are seeing.

                              Thanks for letting me to your router as well as the pfsense - that was the key.  I would highly suggest you make harder passwords.  And even think hard and long to why you would want to allow remote access into your router in the first place.  Better option is VPN into your network, and then access your stuff via the vpn connection.  This is going to be way more secure than just web gui open to the public.

                              here is your problem - you have UPnP forwarding that 20000 port to a different IP.

                              I would really suggest you TURN OFF UPnP!!

                              This over rides your DMZ host for those ports, I mentioned that as possible problem a few posts back ;)

                                      Also while I was on your router "TL-WR1043ND"  And yup public on its wan – so why do you have that router in front of your pfsense box??  At a loss to why you want to double nat like your doing?

                                        It doesn't explain why it didn't work at port 24000 though. Or that I could see in the logs traffic being correctly forwarded in pfSense.  :-\

                                            I don't know why it wouldn't of worked on 24000, unless he didn't change his AP to that port?  He had some bad state on his pfsense for that port?  Or his router in front of his pfsense - with ports above 1024 on a nat box handling multiple machines it looks like - its quite possible there was a state already for 24000.

                                            From his UPnP he is running torrents, so those are going to create lots and lots of connections.. So you have no idea how many states are already in play.  So say his router had a state where 24000 source on its wan.  And then some other connection came in for that - what would it do?  Would it not allow the connection because not same IP as the state, or would it forward to send it on through - depends on what type of nat that router was set for.

                                            Double NAT not good idea - you can have all kinds of weird shit happen ;)
