Describe the bug
When calling GET /api/v2/firewall/nat/port_forwards, I get a 504 response, with indications of a timeout in the logs.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure 200 port forward rules on the pfsense
2. Make a GET /api/v2/firewall/nat/port_forwards to the pfsense API
3. Wait for it to complete
4. See error in the logs after a few minutes

Expected behavior
The call returns the list of port forwards in a timely fashion, ideally a few seconds.

Screenshots or Response

When calling GET /api/v2/firewall/nat/port_forwards, the call hangs for a few minutes, then returns a 504 response, with html code indicating a PHP crash. In the logs, I can see:

... upstream timed out (60: Operation timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: REDACTED, server: , request: "GET /api/v2/firewall/nat/port_forwards HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.socket", host: "REDACTED

With additional debug, I can see that the call takes 12 minutes to return, which is too long for nginx timeout setting.
