CloudConnexa: Allow Traffic from a WPC to a Private Network Behind Pfsense

Overview

When pfSense is configured as a CloudConnexa Network Connector, firewall rules may be required to allow traffic from the CloudConnexa WPC and connected networks to reach resources on the private network behind the pfSense router.

This procedure creates a firewall rule that permits traffic from a CloudConnexa WPC to a private network behind pfSense.

Procedure

1. In the pfSense web interface, go to Firewall → Rules.
2. Select Add Rules to create a new firewall rule.
3. Configure the rule with the following values:
   • Action: Pass
   • Interface: Select the interface associated with your VPN tunnel.
   • Address Family: IPv4
   • Protocol: Any

   • Source: Network Subnet / IP's 

     Note: Configure the CloudConnexa WPC subnet if CloudConnexa users need access to resources behind the router. Include any additional CloudConnexa network subnets or IP services that require access to resources on the private network.
   • Destination: Any
4. Select Save to apply the rule.
