What settings did this screenshot refer to?
I have the exact same issue, but the solution is unavailable due to deleted screenshot.

21.7 Legacy Series / Re: NAT - Portforwarding - same port working, different not

« on: August 17, 2021, 08:11:32 pm »

Have done some more testing, it's only port 80 that's not working here. And found some other thread, and changed the GUI-ports to only 443 and LAN, but it still persists.

Anything I missed?

21.7 Legacy Series / NAT - Portforwarding - same port working, different not

« on: August 17, 2021, 04:59:33 pm »

Hi folks,

I've been trying to figure out why one of my portforwardings seems not to be working.

I'm using a PlexMediaServer on my NAS, it's requiring port 32400 for remote access. If I configure the same port on WAN, it's stable. But when using port 80 on the WAN for it, it stops working. I used to do this before I switched to OPNsense, as most guest networks only allow traffic on ports 80 and 443.

Is there any (standard) configuration that might use the port 80 already, so that it's not working here?

The attachments show the aliases and NAT rules I've configured. I'll limit the source to specific known networks later, but like to understand why it's not working in this simple setup.

... Plex remote access will not work unless I can figure out how to do this.

As far as I know, for remote access only port 32400 is needed. I've not changed anything for the certificates so far. And remote access is working just fine (at least from native apps, usually not using app.plex.tv)

General Discussion / NAT - Portforwarding - Two different kind of rules?

« on: August 14, 2021, 07:10:15 pm »

Hi folks,

I'm trying to setup port forwarding for my Plex Media Server. At the moment a simple unconditional one from port 80 to 32400 or 32400 to 32400. Doing so I noticed to different kinds of rules in "Firewall: NAT: Port Forward":

1. named "Enabled rule"
2. named "Linked rule"

Whats the difference between them? Can anyone link me to a documentation? Couldn't find any usefull posts so far.

Furthermore the one trying to forward 80 to 32400 seems to break after a few seconds, without any hint what might be wrong with it. Testing it with 32400 to 32400, so far this seems to be stable (for 30min at the moment).

General Discussion / mail-address not accepted for registration

Hi folks,

I've just switched to OPNsense, installed it this week, so far I'm quite happy, but come across a few questions I am going to ask here in separate threads. While registering I've tried to use my regular mail address, wich is from one major German ISP (@t-online.de), but the activation mail did never arrive.

Today I changed this to one address from my own domain, @dachs.blog, this one arrived instantly, as expected.
Any thoughts, why this might be?

Holger
