Forward by Private IPs
Hi There!
I have successfully installed pfSense on Linode A.
Ubuntu With dummy web server on Linode B.
Both Linode have Private IPs (same datacenter)
If I create virtual interface em0.1(LAN) with ip 192.168.A.A
I can ping linode B by its ip 192.168.B.B from LAN
if I create Virtual IP instead and enter 192.168.A.A
I can also ping 192.168.B.B from pfSense Virtual IP 192.168.A.A
The Problem : I try to set up a forward from
Public IP(linode A):80 to 192.168.B.B:80 but
I can't reach Linode B.
Can this be scenario be done…somehow?
If someone could point be up to a site reference
I could read & Learn how to do it I would
really appreciate!
Thank you!

Greetings,
Late to the party here but we do not allow the ability to spoof the origin ip address (ip forwarding) over the private network. It's a safety measure to prevent the Linode from acting as some other Linode on the network.
I hope that helps and let us know if you have any questions about that.
Just reading through this, is this still the case?
I want to NAT ports 80 and 443 to my Nginx proxy manager.
noob to the cloud but I had planned to put everything behind a PFsense firewall and then set my Linodes to only be accessed via the Proxy manager on a private LAN?
What is everyone else doing? I want it to be a secure as possible.
