ESXi 5.5 not passing all ports to pfsense

[alexort11]

To make this more simple, everything worked before it was placed on the esxi host. I had 2 physical boxes that were both converted to VM on my esxi 5.5 with latest updates.

I have pfsense and a windows 7 machine with xampp running on the host.

vmnic2 > vswitch 0 > management network

vmnic1 > vSwitch1 > pfsense WAN

vmnic2 > vSwitch2 > pfsense LAN, Win 7

Both pfsense NICs are VMXnet3

After rolling the two working machines into the VM environment, I have problems with ports being forwarded.

3389 - Works

990 - Works

80 - Not working

25 - Not working

It seems as though esxi is intercepting the traffic before it hits my pfsense WAN. I tried passthrough on the WAN interface with the same result. If I change pfsense to forward port 81 to the web server, it works (not practical for web hosting). So there is a problem with 80 passing through esxi to pfsense WAN. Any ideas?

Thanks

Welcome to the Community,

I assume that it is vmnic0 which is connected to vSwitch0!?

Anyway, a vSwitch/virtual machine port group doesn't filter/block any traffic to the VMs. It's got to be something else that causes the issue.

Is vmnic2 (i.e. the pfSense WAN port) directly connected to  the WAN, or through a firewall/router?
