incoming Access thru firewall
Hello, I have a prosafe gigabit 8 port firewall FVS318G, setup and working well with default settings. In my home network I have setup a PC running freenas. I have also setup a web (HTTP) address to takes me to my network. I have tried different settings and cannot seem to get part the firewall (I get the firewall sign in screen). I would like to enter the web address from a remote pc and get to the freenas sign in screen. Thanks in advance.

Re: incoming Access thru firewall
Hi @mpratt,
Welcome to the community! 🙂
I suggest you to configure an LAN WAN Inbound Rule. As reference, kindly read pages 4-11 and 4-15 of the FVS318G reference manual here about LAN WAN Inbound Service Rules and an example of creating an LAN WAN Inbound Rule: Hosting a Local Public Web Server respectively.

Re: incoming Access thru firewall
Thank you for the response. I am a novice in setting up this router and need a little more help. I reviewed the parts of the manual and understand most, not all of the settings I need to apply.
My router address is 192.168.1.1 and the NAS server is 192.168.1.137.
My LAN WAN inbound services settings are:
Service: HTTP
Action: ALLOW always
Send to LAN Server: Single Address
Start: 192.168.1.137
WAN Destination IP Address: Broadband
WAN Users: Any
Log: Never
Bandwidth Profile: NONE
When the rule is disabled, the web address brings up the router sign in screen.
When the rule is active, the connection times out.
Thanks again in advance.

Re: incoming Access thru firewall
Results:
Checked port 80 on Host/IP masonportal.com...
The checked port (80, service http) is online/reachable!
Completed portscan in 0.2988 seconds.
Also, I am not sure where the setting to allow the Freenas server is on this unit.
Thanks.

Re: incoming Access thru firewall
I searched online and found out that it seems that HTTP is not the port that you need to open on the FVS318G to access your FreeNAS outside your network. Kindly access the following links below then read:

Hope it helps. 🙂
