26.1, 26,4 Series / Legacy FTP ON 26.X BE
September 25, 2026, 05:31:29 PM
Hello,

I am using OPNsense Business Edition.

Version: 26.4.2p2
Edition: opnsense-business

I need to connect to external FTP servers from my internal network.

From what I understand, since the 26.x versions, the FTP proxy (os-ftp-proxy) needs to be installed/configured for FTP connections to work correctly.

I have installed the FTP proxy, but I am not sure how to configure the required NAT/firewall rules so that FTP connections from my internal clients can pass through OPNsense correctly.

I also noticed something that may be related to the issue:

Existing/old aliases that were already configured before the upgrade still work correctly.
Newly created aliases do not seem to work.
This makes me wonder if there is a specific configuration or NAT requirement for newly created aliases in the 26.x Business Edition.

Could someone please clarify:

How should os-ftp-proxy be configured on OPNsense Business Edition 26.4.2p2?
Which NAT rules are required?
Which firewall rules are required?
Do the FTP clients need to be explicitly configured to use the proxy?
Is there any known issue with newly created aliases in version 26.4.2p2?
Is there anything specific that needs to be done for newly created aliases to become available to NAT/firewall rules?

My goal is to allow internal clients to connect to external FTP servers through OPNsense.

Thank you.
