TLDR: Why can't I select a gateway group (I'm load balancing two external connections) when defining a destination for a port forwarding rule.
Summary:
Attempting to create the following NAT Port Foward entry:
Int: WAN / WAN2
Proto: TCP/UDP
Destination: Gateway_Group (WAN/WAN1 - Load balanced)
Destination Ports: XBOXLIVE (a firewall ports alias)
Doing all this since my XBOX ONE's are showing strict NAT types (not good for gaming) - I have been following this guide: https://niallbest.com/achieve-full-open-nat-with-port-forwarding-for-xbox-live-via-opnsense/
But get stuck when I attempt to define the NAT: Port Forward steps since I need the destination to go to the gateway group, not a single WAN.
My thoughts:
Why can't I define a alias that lets the firewall know that the gateway group is the destination? But I haven't figured out a way to do this since the gateway_group is not selectable in the drop down.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
Trying to load balance for incoming traffic from an external source, well that is different as normally for outgoing traffic from internal sources. I think you may need to explore a plugin for that purpose.
But may work... though not likely, have you tried to use just, "This Firewall" as the Destination?
