I've tried so many things I'm not even sure what planet I'm on anymore. Can someone help bring me back to earth? I'm trying to get an FTP server to work from behind my OPNsense. A simple FileZilla server on a Windows machine on my LAN. At this point I don't care if it's secured or plain old FTP. I've tried with and without the FTP proxy. Can someone walk me through all the rules one would normally setup. Treat it as is I'm brand new to OPNsense, call me names if you like, IDC. Passive is fine, probably easier, I would think.

I guess the answer was to go back to basics.
NO FTP Proxy, We ain't got time for that.
Simple WAN ports forwards for the FTP port and the Communication ports range. to the local IP of my FTP server.
Easy Peasy.

I believe your issue may be your ISP blocking you from communicating on FTP, Telnet, SSH, HTTP.
most ISP's block the 1st 1024 ports because they don't want trouble. :)

NO, it didn't have anything to do with the ISP. I just didn't have the rules correct. Well, on the OPNsense side. On the other side it was a Fortigate device causing some issues. They have something they call Session Helpers, and the FTP session helper was helping it not work correctly. Once I deleted all the old rules and the proxy and set up simple port forwarding, it worked like a champ.
