Title: Cannot get Port Forward to Work - TCP-8443 to TCP-443
Post by: rkillcrazy on October 06, 2018, 02:38:11 pm

I'm trying to forward TCP-8443 to a web server, listening on the standard HTTPS port, inside my home network.  The ISP blocks incoming TCP-80 and TCP-443 hence, I'm using that alternative port.  Again, I'm new to opnsense but this should be straigh forward; this used to work on my old pfsense setup

I followed this well written and concise tutorial (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=8783.0). 

I went to Firewall > NAT > Port Forward and set it up.  I allowed it to create its own firewall rule in Firewall > Rules > WAN. See the following screen shots.

The browser, when I go to visit the site, says the following which leads me to believe I'm actively getting blocked:

Code: [Select]

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Seems correct.
I assume you checked that the traffic arrives at your WAN address?
Do you see any blockings in Firewall > Log Files > Live View?
(Especially with destination being the WAN address (with ':8443', which would mean natting doesn't work properly (had this just yesterday, all of a sudden))

None that I can see but, the filtering on the live view is less than ideal.  I'm able to filter by "WAN" and I see everything hitting the WAN.  I can also filter by ":443" and see some traffic but it looks like it's all outbound.  If I filter by ":8443", I get nothing at all.
