Description

I believe I have stumbled upon a bug within the WebUI while attempting to create brand new outbound NAT rule with a manually specified IPv4 translation address.

Selecting the "Other Subnet (Enter Below)" address option and specifying a valid IPv4 address and CIDR in the Other Subnet input fields results in the following error message:

The following input errors were detected:
A valid target IP address must be specified.

I have discovered a workaround which I would prefer to not have to do.. You can manually go into the config.xml file and type the correct IPv4 translation address and CIDR there and pfsense takes the change no problems.Doing this even results in the NAT entry displaying the address correctly as well.

I can confirm this bug. This can be easily worked around by adding a VIP with a type of "Other" and then using that to map it, but we should still fix this even if the "Other" field is rarely used.

Looks like it might just be one inverted test tripping it up but it needs more time/testing to ensure this change doesn't break other combinations of options.

The patch is allowing to add a CIDR and seems doesn't affect anything at first glance. But I found the typo on the NAT address field

Update it produces the following error:

There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:172: could not parse host specification - The line in question reads [172]: nat on $WAN inet from 172.22.100.0/24 to any -> ther-subnet/32 port 1024:65535

OK, now I see what the original cause of the issue is. The old diff is the wrong fix. Revert that and remove it if you tried it. This is the right fix
