        Use 1:1 NAT and allow any ports in the firewall rule to this specific host.

          Do these sites work to test ports?

            I use can you see me all the time - works great.

            Keep in mind these are valid to test with TCP, not UDP.

            As mentioned already if you want to forward all ports to a box behind pfsense, then yeah 1:1 would be the better choice.
