        pfSense is not Linux based. It has FreeBSD as basis.
        pfSense does not use ipTables but pf (packet filter).
        Thus the name ;)

        What exactly is your questions?
        What are you trying to do?

          I have to use this feature where I can find?

          FORWARD - The default chains is used when packets send through another interface. Usually used when you setup Linux as router. For example, eth0 connected to ADSL/Cable modem and eth1 is connected to local LAN. Use FORWARD chain to send and receive traffic from LAN to the Internet.

            In pfSense you have to think a bit different.

            Rules are always applied on the interface on which traffic arrives.
            So if you want to have a rule to apply to traffic going from LAN to WAN you put the rule on the LAN-tab.
            If you want a rule to apply to traffic from WAN to LAN, then you put the rule on the WAN-tab.
            etc.

            We do what we must, because we can.
