Bug #5718
closedPort forward NAT doesn't work when using a gateway outside interface subnet
0%
Description
Hello,
Following feature #972 implementation, automatic outbound NAT works even when using a gateway outside interface subnet. Previously this required the creation of manual outbound NAT rules.
But... Port forward still doesn't work when using a gateway outside interface subnet.
Those are the settings that cause it to be not working:

If I change the subnet from 32 to 24 it works (but will "defeat" what implementing the feature meant).

I've found the cause.
VMware Workstation network drivers don't like this kind of configuration and it only "works" when I sniff packets with Wireshark to see what is happening.
If I connect the virtualized pfSense WAN directly my physical network (bridge connection) this feature works.
Please flag this as 'Not a Bug' since the cause was my very specific setup.
Thank you.
