Port forwarding not working in pfSense 2.1-RELEASE (amd64)

jhotujec

Hello,
this is my first time using pfSense so please be gentle :)
I had WRT54GL but i decided to replace it with a server that has two physical network cards. On that server i have installed ESXi. On of virtual servers is also pfSense. Now, i've installed pfsense and got internet to work(though i am not exactly sure how) :P I have one physical card connected to modem and is set to PPoE(WAN) and another one that is connected to switch(LAN). I have one gateway that looks like this:

Name Interface Gateway Monitor
LANGW (default) WAN 193.77.54.181 193.77.54.181

IP 193.77.54.181 is also my external static IP given to me by mi ISP.

Then i added NAT rules for one of my virtual servers with our website.

If Proto Src. addr Src. ports Dest. addr Dest. ports NAT IP NAT Ports
WAN TCP * * WAN address 80 (HTTP) 192.168.3.80 80 (HTTP)

And firewall rule:

IPv4 TCP * * 192.168.3.80 80 (HTTP) * none

Still, if you go to vpl.si website is still not working.

Any ideas? Thanks! 8)

Are you testing from inside your network ? If so you may need to turn on NAT reflection this is found towards the bottom of the nat rule creation page.

So seems to be working to me - as stated if your trying to access your public IP from the lan side then you need to make sure nat reflection is enabled.
