I'm seeking assistance with configuring port forwarding on my pfSense router for my Minecraft server. Here's a summary of my setup:
My PC has a local IP address of 198.168.0.xxx.
I need to forward TCP and UDP connections on port 25565 to my PC.
I've already allowed incoming and outgoing connections on port 25565 in the Windows Defender firewall.
Here are the steps I've taken in pfSense:
Logged in to the pfSense web interface.
Navigated to Firewall > NAT > Port Forward.
Created a port forwarding rule as follows:
For TCP/UDP
Interface: WAN
Protocol: TCP/UDP
Source: Single host or alias > Type: WAN Address > Address/mask: leave blank
Source port range: From port 25565, To port 25565
Destination: WAN address
Destination port range: From port 25565, To port 25565
Redirect target IP: 198.168.0.xxx
Redirect target port: Port 25565
Description: Minecraft TCP/UDP
NAT reflection: Use system default
Filter rule association: None
I've also gone as far as to create a rule for WAN. still nothing. I kindly request the community's review of my configuration. If I have overlooked any steps or if there are additional measures I need to take for the correct port forwarding setup for my Minecraft server, please let me know.
