      Hey guys,
      weird issue here and i would be grateful for some assistance.

      i have two ADSL Routers
      192.168.1.1  with dmz configured to 192.168.1.3
      192.168.2.1  with dmz configured to 192.168.2.3

      they both have internet and each of them has a LAN port connected to pfsense machine.
      pfsense machine has 3 eth :
      1. WAN - 192.168.1.3
      2. WAN - 192.168.2.3
      3. LAN - 10.0.0.1 ( pfsense managment ip )

      i have internet in both routers and for all machines using pfsense as gateway - so far so good.

      Problem start here:
      1. i created NAT rule for port 80 from WAN1 addresses to 10.0.0.10 at port 80 - WORKS
      2. i created NAT rule for port 80 from WAN2 addresses to 10.0.0.10 at port 80 - DOSNT WORK !
      so i thought ok, might be dmz issues or firewall rules, but i cant find anything wrong.

      so i thought ok, lets make sure i can use this gateway so i set WAN2 as default gateway and yes when i go to whatismyip.com i see the correct ip
      but , i changed default gateway to WAN1 and when i set a LAN rule with:
      Source : 10.0.0.20 ( my pc )
      Port: ANY
      Destination: ANY
      Port: ANY
      Gateway: WAN2

      and then go to whatismyip - i still see WAN1 external ip.

      any ideas ?

        you'd have to kill states to get 'whatsmyip.com' to show the correct state.

        can you post a packet capture when the port-forward works & one where the port-forward fails ?
        are you using automatic nat or hybrid or manual ?
        are you running the webgui on port 80? Does it help to change the webgui to a different port ?

          Thanks heper for your quick response.
          the NAT issue was actually me being too tired to do installations.
          i only reseted the first router after configuring the NAT so NAT works great ( tested with different ports ).

          the second issue is even more obvious.
          as i have the default rule ( LAN net  to get out ) it was higher then the rule of the change WAN for my ip.

          this why you shouldnt deal with networking installation after 3:00AM
