      Hi guys,

      Before I reinstalled pfSense I wanted to ask you gurus about NAT reflection.

      I am running pfSense 2.0.3 Release 64 bit on a virtual machine, everything but NAT reflection works!

      What I am trying to do is very basic, I am running a TeamSpeak Server and trying to connect to it using the WAN IP address, so other users can see my ip address/location since it's a public ip address.

      I have tried everything I could think of.

      Others can connect to my server with no problem, so port forwarding is done properly.

      System>Advanced>Firewall/NAT

      Disable NAT Reflection for port forwards is unchecked.

      Automatically create outbound NAT rules which assist inbound NAT rules that direct traffic back out to the same subnet it originated from.  is checked.

      Mode: Automatic outbound NAT rule generation
              (IPsec passthrough included)

        Not entirely sure. Are you using UDP for teamspeak? I am not sure udp works on reflection. Etiher way though, if you use pfSense for DNS, you can setup a DNS entry for this server, for outside to resolve to, and then in pfSense setup an override DNS entry to point to the internal address. This way, external people resolve an external address and internal people resolve to an internal address and NAT reflection is not used. Also, this is better for bandwidth.
