Title: FTP active mode (Outbound NAT)
Post by: fabio on September 13, 2017, 11:09:45 am
Hi All
I've problems to connect LAN clients to remote FTPs in active mode; unfortunately I've a couple of suppliers that do not accept passive

The current network configuratin is:
lan_clients (dhcp)  ->  opnsense (Outbound NAT) -> ISP_router (NAT) -> "the internet" -> RemoteFPT

with this conf the connection to the FTP is established but commands retrun errors
instead if I connect the clents directrly to the IPS router Avtie mode works

I googled around and I've made some tests but without success .. do you have any suggestion to solve this ?

Cheers

Have you tried configuring an FTP proxy? Services, Web Proxy, Administration, Forward Proxy, FTP proxy settings.

Thanks Bart

I supposed the FTP Proxy was only a "Reverse FTP"

I'll try to follow this how to:
