What am I doing wrong? AirVPN & pfSense

[anon1701 0]

This is what a simplified version of my network looks like.
I have a pfSense FW thats runs a tunnel to AirVPN. I use PBR to decide which LAN host goes across the encrypted tunnel, and which can go across the normal tunnel. This appears to work.

I have two hosts, one inisde the PBR rule, one outside. On both I am running a telnet server on Port 31 for testing purposes
On the WAN Interface I have forwarded port 31 to TestVPC1 - this works
On the AirVPN Interface I have forwarded port 10258 to Port 31 on TestVPC2 - this did seem to work briefly - but doesn't now
On AirVPN Forwarded Ports I have 10258 open - forwarded to 10258 - but if I test - it says closed

What am I doing wrong?

What was the state of the network when it briefly worked and what did you do between then and when it stopped doing so?

AND.....

You made me think - this may have involved a whole 400g tub of haagan-daaz as brain food. I added am OpenVPN Server (RoadWarrior Style) to the Firewall. Removing this (and it was on a different port) made the port forwards work again

Is this a likley bug or something I am missing?

Called it.

What exactly did you remove?
