I LOVE that you timestamp this video, others and podcasts so that future viewers will know if what you're speaking to may not apply to their future situations.
Thank you for doing these. When my old firewall company went out of business, it was your tutorials that let me move to pfsense and feel pretty confident I was going to be safe after it was done.
I believe many teachers I knew could learn from you how to present practical examples that do make sense. Infused with hints at best practices. Nice and clear explanations!
if you are stuck like i was when creating a port forward nat i could not hit the public ip from inside the network. Make sure you go to systems/advance/firewall & NAT and select Pure nat and also check Enable automatic outbound NAT for Reflection thanks to all!!
Hello mate, how about you make a video of how to securely set up a gaming server on one of the Protectli ports running pfsense with two open ports? I'm trying to set up a server that will run Windowsgsm and Icarus and RUST games and won't get hacked and compromise the rest of the network. Regards
You are a great teacher. Thank you! It worked great for me. My first Port Forwarding was to allow me to access via Remote Desktop, an internal virtual Windows Server 2019 running as a Proxmox VM and it worked great. I have three questions though: 1) Why is the "Destination" a WAN address? Isn't the destination supposed to be the internal server IP and Port I want to forward to? 2) I used the default MS RDP port 3389 but I later read somewhere that opening port 3389 was very dangerous as it is one of the easy targets for hackers. Can I use any unused and unreserved port for Remote Desktop? 3) Is there a list of ports that cannot be used by default as they are specifically reserved for services? Thanks!
So the issue I’m having is that I am going to my wan address and it’s not connecting me to the ip address and port I gave it. I know it works because the website hosted on it is available inside the network by going to the ip. Why does port forwarding feel hit or miss?? It was literally working a couple of days ago and now just doesn’t
i' m from belgium.Make sure that on your pfsense wan is in PPPoE mode and that your bbox3 has PPP deactivated in "connectivité réseau ".I was trying to portforward my Ip cams to rtspme ,it didn't work until i deactivated PPP
Hi, i have Pfsense firewall and i have configure to allow 4700 port on my local server to access to WAN, but cannot access from WAN to 4700 port. please guide me to configure it.
Hi Tom, any chance that you could make a video explaining how to do port forwarding through Wireguard? Basically, I got a server that's behind a NAT firewall (Pfsense) and my ISP blocks ports. I want to be able to route any incoming connections through the Wireguard server (Linode's instance) to my server that's behind the NAT Firewall. I really like your videos, keep up the great work. Thank you
Thank you for these videos. 2 questions I’m trying to port forward for my Plex. I set a different port than the standard port for Plex. Which section do I put the external port in and then which section do I put the actual Plex port?l if I changed the port on the Plex side? Also I’m noticing that under the remote access settings in Plex is not pulling the correct LAN subnet after the port forward. I do have my Plex server on a different lan that has access to the WAN. What May be causing this? Thanks
I want to allow only emails on pfsense for specific IP alias? it may be gmail or yahoo etc ? how to allow only email services from pfsense on some specific devices? I shall be highly thankful
I'm thinking of replacing UDM-Pro for a SMB I manage but they have a 2gb download speed (not that they need it). Is there a semi inexpensive bare bones box with an SFP+ port on it that will route >1gbps? Its very hard to beat the price of the UDMP for >1gb routing + an 8-port switch and unifi protect.
