OK, I understand now. Thank you. I can browse to my IP and see my local
web-server from my VPS. The reason I point this out is because when I
had my linksys (WRT54G) in place, I could navigate to
http://my_ip:2500/~chris/.... and it would work just as if I was
external, but that isn't working now. Was this some automagical
configuration of the Linksys? (which btw was running DD-WRT) Or do I
need to enable some kind of configuration w/i pfSense for this to work?
