General Discussion / Gateway group as the destination in firewall rule?
« on: September 28, 2022, 10:44:39 pm »
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.
