To enabling gadgets,applications,scripts,online applications and games’s private ports connect to Internet via ADSL modem or Firewall
In this scenario we have a built like ;
1-)First connect to modem and transit to port forwarding section.This part could be different for each modem.You can research know&how about your own modem. In cablenet modem I’ll follow these steps
Forwarding to ;
- HTTPS:443
- RDP :3389
Opening these ports first and forwarding them to my own pfSense Firewall machine.These requests first sending to Modem then it reachs to PfSense Firewall machine
2-) Pfsense Machines On PfSense side ;
Click on Firewall –> NAT. Now Click on “+” sign on upper right corner
Configurate it as in picture
3-) With same steps we’ll create rulet that allows us to connect PfSense via external connection to do that we’ll forwarding port to Firewall’s outter leg .
4-) The rule have been created.Click on Apply Changes to Save
5-) Ports are open now.To testing it click on Diagnostic –> Port

6-) If you connect PfSense via external network from “htts://ipadresiniz:443 “ you can manage your PfSense Interface remotely
