Connection issues v.2
-
I just setup a Pfsense firewall in the weekend, everything works great except for one thing.
- I can't open our own website from behind the firewall. it's www.kge.dk
On our old firewall(smoothwall), we had to write www. in a browser to access it. But neither www.kge.dk or kge.dk works now.
our windows 2003 domain is called kge.dk, so i thought that was why, the smoothwall wanted www. infront of kge.dk. But pfsense i can't access it at all. it's proberly just a minor detail that I can't seem to figure out.
I know the post is simular to Connection issues. but I would hate if my own thread was taken over by others posts, so I made a new one.
Hope you got any ideas.

Possibly its a DNS issue. What IP address does www.kge.dk resolve to? Probably a public IP address. Maybe you have a port forward setup to forward certain connections to "the 'local' IP address" of www.kge.dk which is possibly a private IP address.
One way of resolving this is to setup a host override in the pfSense DNS forwarder but that only works if you are using the DNS forwarder.

Is your website hosted inside the pfSense machine?
If so, possibly: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Why_can%27t_I_access_forwarded_ports_on_my_WAN_IP_from_my_LAN/OPTx_networks%3F

Hi again and thanks for the reply's.
No it's not hosted by our self.
The problem was apparently our dns server on the win2003 server. a friend of mine fixed the problem and showed me how to add sites outside our lan.
thanks again for your support.
