Navigate to 'Firewall -> NAT' from the top menu bar. You can now just reference the Alias instead of the IP address.Ĥ. Create a new 'IP Alias' with the information of the web server. Here you can set an alias for a Machines, Ports and URLs, saving you having to change the IP address in a lot of different places if it does change. Optional Step: On the top menu, click 'Firewall -> Aliases'. I found ' NAT + Proxy' works for me but ' Pure NAT' does not. Change the ' NAT Reflection' mode for port forwards' to 'Enable'. While still in ' Advanced', navigate to the ' Firewall/NAT' tab and scroll down to ' Network Address Translation'. Once in the new URL, return to 'System -> Advanced' and check the ' WebGUI redirect' option to prevent pfSense from redirecting your web server to itself. Save and Apply this setting and wait for pfSense to redirect you or you can redirect yourself to the new web interface URL.Ģ. This will change how you access pfSense from now onwards e.g. If your web server does not use HTTPS use 443, if it does use 444 for pfSense from now on. If your website is using SSL (HTTPS) then do not use 443 like I have.
Under 'System -> Advanced', change the TCP port to anything but 80 or blank.
This guide will help port forward web servers in pfSense.ġ. Web browsers will by default access websites at port 80 when they are HTTP and port 443 when it is HTTPS e.g. This also allows you to access your personal home server from literally anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. pfSense, as a firewall, blocks all incoming connections to your network from the outside world.īy opening the 80 and 443 port we are allowing the outside world (Internet) to access applications running on these ports on a local machine - which are commonly web servers. Web servers are configured to run on port 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS).
