      Hi All
      I'm helping a non-proft org move from a sonicwall appliance to a pfsense box.  They have a rule that translate both the source/destination

      Orig Source: Firewalled Subnets
      Trans Source: Wan Interface IP
      Orig Dest: Wan Interface IP
      Trans Dest: Phone System Private IP
      Orig Srv: Phone Ssytem (http/pcPro)
      Trans Srv: Orginal

      How do I accomplish this in pfsense?  Thanks in advance for your help.

        The destination translation is done by Firewall: NAT: Port Forward, you will already have discovered.
        The source translation can be done at Firewall: NAT: Outbound. Select "Hybrid Outbound NAT rule generation", hit save and then add your translation rule. Ensure that you select the interface where the respective traffic leaves pfSense, I assume WAN.

          Thanks Viragomann!  That was easy - confused myself because we have two WAN interfaces so I just added 4 rules.  I assume I don't need to worry about Default NAT rules in Sonicwall (only Custom) like default rule below when nothing is translated.

          Orig Source: Any
          Trans Source: Original
          Orig Dest: LAN Interface IP
          Trans Dest: Original
          Orig Srv: Ping
          Trans Srv: Orginal

          Thanks!
