Hi
Guys I
have been running the embedded version of PFsense for a while now with the
following configuration. I
have purchased new Wireless Internet Access from a company, and they provided me
with a network point that I have plugged into the OPT1 port of my firewall. The
configuration is as follows. LAN
-> IP : 172.16.0.250 Gateway: 172.16.2.250 WAN
-> Establishes the PPOE connection OPT1
-> IP : 172.16.2.1 -> Gateway : Default The
wireless provider also provided me with an Public IP address and they are
natting all traffic to my 172.16.2.1 IP address. From there I am natting SMTP
and HTTPS to my internal server 172.16.0.1. Now
the issues is it was working for about a day, and after that no traffic would
reach my server even though I could see that the firewall was allowing the
traffic to pass through. What
I would like to know is how well does Pfsense handle double natting. I am not
sure if I am missing any further configurations on my side to allow the traffic
to pass through. All
firewall rules have been applied to instruct internal traffic going outbound to
use the OPT1 interface, which works without any hassles. But I’m only
have trouble with traffic coming in through my OPT1 port. I
have now resorted to routing all traffic over my ADSL line until I can get the
OPT1 interface to handle all inbound traffic. I
would like to keep the configuration the same, so that I can leave the ADSL on
my WAN interface incase the Wireless link goes down. Kind Regards duncanwiggill
