      I'm using 1.2.3. I have a captive portal with user self registration, which is why the old version. There was a php script posted here on the forums by another user for user self registration that I am using (modified of coarse), but it does not work on 2.0+, just older versions of pfSense.

        Well couple things – again not seeing WAN as interface on the actual listing of the rules.  But only in your edit, did it get unselected somehow?

        Also is that other nat working? And I agree with stephenw10 the external should be set to WAN interface address not any.  Also your edit along with interface, but why would your external port be 22-any, you don't want to foward 23 to 22 do you.  Your dst is ssh-ssh so your external should match that ssh-ssh

          I FOUND THE PROBLEM!  ;D

          It actually has to do with the captive portal. I had to add to and from rules in the allowed IP addresses list. I already had added the server's MAC to the MAC Pass-Through list, and thought that was all I needed to do, but I was wrong. Now that I have added the IP address of the server to the "allowed IP addresses" list in Captive Portal section it is working as it should be.

          Thank you guys for helping me troubleshoot. :)  You all have been quite helpful!
