Hi,

I'm still planning the Checkpoint -> pfSense migration, and I'm now at the Outbound NAT part. In our current Checkpoint, every single NAT is manually defined. It is a bit cumbersome and I doubt this adds to security because we have a default deny rules everywhere, ingress/egress.

What are the best practices for Outbound NAT? I have one WAN and 9 networks on the LAN side. Within most of my LAN networks, I don't NAT, but I do NAT with one of them. I also need to NAT to go out on the internet, via WAN. So, basically, I need Outbound NAT for WAN and for this one network that I need to NAT.

One of my question is: should I leave Automatic outbound NAT rule generation or use Manual rules. From what I can see, the automatic rules are only to access the internet, which is fine because I'll only allow what I want with firewall rules. No matter if I go automatic or not, I'll need a few rules that I can create for my LAN network that needs NAT.

Just thinking aloud, but I'd be glad to know if my thinking sounds right.

Thanks,

Ugo
