      Hello,

      I configured a new Interface, assigned it to my WAN-Port (re0) and gave it an IP-address in the same subnet as the modem. Then I switched to manual NAT, what created several NAT-rules and added a rule for the newly created interface. But it doesn't work. I can't access my modems web-interface.

      Anyones got an idea? If you need more information, I will provide you with them.

      I'm running pfSense 2.1

      Best,

        Have you created firewall rules specific to the ports / IP's you need to access ?

        Did you create a virtual interface ?

        Aside this why could you not simply access the modem via IP

        Doing this seem futile unless you have more than one public IP then you'll need to create a 1:1 nat or otherwise.
