I've been trying for a week to get Borderlands 3 to work for coop play with a friend. And no matter what I do to my Pfsense router PC, the connection times out and fails.
I've been using this as a reference for the ports:
- from which I've added all the ports in the PC section as well as the Steam section (my friend and I both have BL3 on Steam).
But *nothing* works.
I've created rules in the NAT -> Port forward section for inbound Nat rules. I've created rules in the NAT -> outbound section for outbound Nat rules. And I've created firewall rules in the firewall section.
Every tutorial I read says I've done it all correctly, but half of them (or more) are for older versions of Pfsense. So if anyone has any experience getting all this crap to work, please let me know!
PS: Pfsense was a massive mistake. For the tiny bit of extra security, stability and speed it provides over a regular router, it absolutely was NOT worth it for the number of headaches caused by configuration woes.
I'll just say it: Pfsense feels like a router for level 3+ network admins to show off and flex the knowledge they learned in school, which is almost never applied elsewhere. Yep.
