Hey guys.
I need to access an http server from outside (wan) and also internally as well.
I am working in a VM, already installed and confugured OPNSense. I also got two Linux machines. The one has an Apache Server up and running and I want the other Linux VM machine to be able to hit the WAN IP in Opnsense and be redirected there, thus seeing the "Apache2 Debian Default Page" that's up and running.
Already followed those instructions in OPNsense:
QuoteAdd the port forwarding rule to send any incoming HTTP and HTTPS traffic to your webserver.
Click Firewall ==> NAT ==> Port Forward
Click the Add button to add a new Port Forward rule
Select the following information
Interface: WAN
TCP/IP version: IPv4
Protocol: TCP
Destination: WAN Address
Port range: From: HTTP to HTTP
Redirect target IP: Single Host or Network(and added this machine's internal IP)
Redirect target port: ThisPC's_internal_Ip (let's say 192.168.100.103)
NAT reflection: Enable (Pure NAT), also tried Use System Default
Filter rule association: Add associated filter rule
checked log.
Click Save and Apply Settings.
So, when I go into my other PC's settings and enter the OPNsense's WAN address into a browser, it just freezes and does nothing.
Later on, I would like to install Suricata and access it from outside of the VPN, but from a PC in my LAN area.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
Firewall: Settings: Advanced
At least enable "Reflection for port forwards"
Thanks for the reply. Did, still nothing though.
Just to be sure: do you have a firewall rule that allows traffic from your "client" to your WAN address port 80?
Yes. I think so.
Firewall -> Rules -> WAN
Protocol Source Port Destination Port Gateway Schedule Description
IPv4 TCP * * 192.168.100.102 80 (HTTP) * * REDIRECT TO WEB SERVER
Any other ideas?
You need a rule on the LAN interface to allow that traffic destination WAN address. Or any/any rule. Do you have a rule there?
Yes. I believe so. Everything is properly set up.
What else could the problem be?
Thanks.
Problem semi-solved. Did a fresh install.
I can access it from a Linux in my VM,
I can not access it from a PC, outside of my VM. For example, I can not access it via my host(physical PC), in my LAN.
Any help?
