Problems with WAN to DMZ Policy

BrettZehr

I'm trying to set  up one of my computers in the DMZ and having trouble with the policies. LAN is port 1. WAN is port 2. DMZ is port 3. NUC is the computer I want to put in the DMZ. NUC is connected directly to to Port 3 and there is definitely some data flowing between the Sophos XG box and NUC, but I can't seem to get internet access to NUC. Here is the rule I set up for WAN to DMZ. I guess I need to set up a LAN to DMZ too, but one thing at a time. What am I missing?

Any suggestion on the LAN to DMZ would be appreciated as well.

    zbrett,

    if you need your computer, placed in DMZ, to be able to access internet a DMZ to WAN policy is needed. With a WAN to DMZ rule, you are allowing external access to your computer, which is not needed and unsafe.

    I'm fully aware of the consequences of exposing the computer to the DMZ. Truth be told, it is a pfSense box that I want to play with to see how it works, if I like it better than Sophos, etc. I also have a VOIP box that is designed to sit between the modem and router, and I want to see if it performs any better while in the DMZ rather than on the LAN.  Does that help my request make more sense? :)
