Port forwarding

[rydde]

Hi, new to opnsense and trying to replace the router in my home with opnsense. My previous router has a simple setup of the following stuff which I am trying to implement witn opnsense:

* Outbound internet access - Check
* DHCP server for LAN subnet with static IPs for certain MACs - Check
* Port forward incoming TCP on port 2222 to port 22 on server on LAN - FAILURE!!!

Why does the port forwarding not work? When setting up port fwd I go Firewal/NAT/Port forwarding and I use

- Destination: <WAN Address>
- Destination port range: other 2222...2222
- Forwarding to : Single server <IP of LAN server>
- port: 2222

I can see that besides the rule under NAT an automatic rule appears also under firewall/rules.

Still when I go to an external server and do:

Code: [Select]

> telnet <WAN address> 2222
it does not connect!

I have accepted ICMP request temporarily on WAN side just to prove that WAN address can be reachable and yes I can

Code: [Select]

ping <WAN address>
from external host successfully.

Do I have to do anything more to get the port fwd to work? Do I have to explicitly add an open TCP 2222 rule as well? Or is it something else that is needed?

Rgds,
John

The filter rule association at the bottom of the NAT rule is what creates that rule. Chose to add an associated/unassociated or pass rule and that will take care of that part. I tend to use "associated" types to be able to see the mapping but I only have very few rules.

- Forwarding to : Single server <IP of LAN server>
- port: 2222

Based on your requirement, you should change to the following:

- Forwarding to : Single server <IP of LAN server>
- port: 22
