HTTPS sites not working with NAT Reflection enabled
-
Just set up pfsense 2.2.2 on new hardware and it seems to be running fine. Configured to forward HTTP/HTTPS and email to local server on LAN interface, hosting several websites/domains on IIS. Everything is working from the WAN interface. If I enable NAT Reflection to access the public IP from the LAN interface it seems to work, i.e. I can access the local websites. However with NAT Reflection enabled, when I access a remote HTTPS site it fails to load correctly, the page has missing elements. Does anyone have any idea how to address this.
Thanks in advance

There seem to be issues with NAT Reflection, missing functionality on secure pages etc, I am sure it is a configuration issue but I do not have the time to mess with it. For now I have edited the local DNS server to point at the LAN ip address of the IIS server for each hosted domain and that has resolved the issue.
Thanks for reading the original post.

That's the best way to do it. Avoid NAT Reflection if you can.
