pfSense box:

  • Public IPs 208.43.30.118-.117
  • Private IP : 192.168.1.1

I need to provide 1:1 NAT mapping to a VM in the private network 192.168.1.5

I am unable to get 1:1 NAT working though it should be direct...

The output of

I tried setting it up a few times with port forward as well as 1:1 NAT but traffic does not forward to the internal IP. What am I doing wrong?

Interface External IP Internal IP Destination IP Description

WAN 208.43.30.117 LAN net 192.168.1.5 forward external to internal ip

The additional ip is just an ip alias (Virtual ip) I had already added the 1:1 NAT rule before uploading the output of command via gui Why is this not reflected in the output posted

    You do not appear to have any NAT rules in your configuration. pfSense allows you to configure 1:1 NAT through their GUI - have you tried this? If you want to do this manually see man pf.conf (there are examples of nat and binat rules - add some to your configuration and tell us what happens)

The mistake i made was not configuring the client's gateway to point to pfsense.

The nat client had multiple network cards and default gateway was set to another network card.

Once it was fixed the issue was resolved
