Orion behind a firewall

Hi, recently put my Orion server behind a firewall along with other servers.

I enable the in and out rules and the NAT correctly.

When I open the web interface from the outside without problems, but after authentication, I get the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orion Website Error

An error has occurred with the Orion website.

Additional Information

System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server - System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)

at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.InternalConnect(EndPoint remoteEP)

at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Int32 timeout, Exception& exception)

at ClassicSiteProxy.Login(HttpContext context, String username, String password)

at Login.DoLoginAction(String username, String password)

at Login.OnLoad(EventArgs e)

at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()

at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I specify in my firewall inspect the rules for orion website like HTTP trafic, and the error change:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orion Website Error

An error has occurred with the Orion website.

Additional Information

System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (504) Gateway Timeout.

I'm using Kerio WinRoute, and all my others published servers work fine, any idea about this?

I have been investigating about the issue, but i do not find anything yet.

Were you able to resolve this issue? I am experiencing the same issue behind a PIX515 with a straight static NAT mapping. (See Below)

Any help on this one would be VERY appreciative! I need my customers to have access to the Orion website.

I have progressed a little further. See this post:

I installed the HotFix at the end, however, now I am receiving a different error:
