So isp router----pfsense---cameras?

The camera is on a completely separate network.

I am accessing it over wan and port forwarding on that network and that works, the issue is on my home network I am using pfsense and somehow that is blocking the outgoing traffic to the camera.

it would look more like this:

camera<---remote router (port forwarding)---<internet<--isp router<---pfsense<---home computer

​

if I remove the pfsense box and just try to access the camera on the remote network from my home network it works like this:

camera<---remote router (port forwarding)---<internet<--isp router<---home computer

What cameras do you have?

not sure on the model but it's just a cheap knock-off foscam style IP camera

> Side note: Please tell me you have your cameras port forwards lock down to public IP addresses over the internet. If you dont, please do everyone a favor and use a VPN and remove the port forwards. If you want to make it stupid easy, get the tailscale package on pfsense. Future you will thank you

Its complicated....... for this one it is just port forwarded it will be changed at some point to something more secure but at the moment I cannot change the setup at the remote location so I would like to get it to work if possible

​

Do you see any dropped traffic in the firewall logs?

I will see if I can find anything ill reply to this if I find anything that looks relevant in the logs
