      Hi guys,

      Need some help.

      I have a Cisco internet router which I want to backup using TFTP to an internal host. Problem is, both the Cisco and the pfSense have external IP addresses and when I test, I see that the connection is seen on the loopback interface. I sort of understand why, but not sure how I get around this, any ideas?

      I'll try and upload and screenshoot.

        that'd happen if you have the TFTP proxy enabled. If that's WAN, you don't want it enabled on WAN.
