Port forwarding not working on many ports

There is something wrong with the port forwarding system on the Route10. I have tried filters & portforwarding. I cannot get some particular ports to open up at all. I’ve made sure they are active, and have zones properly chosen, I’ve tried multiple combos of IP:PORT to no avail. I’ve turn windows firewall off and open every port in the inbound rules. When I attempt an NMAP from another computer in my network it tells me the port is still closed. This is so frustrating. Is there another way I can check these ports on the router to make sure they are actually opening?? HELP PLEASE HELP

Via SSH, try:

uci show firewall | grep redirect

to see what is supposedly set.

Did you want to share some screenshots so we can see what you are entering where?

i.e.
Destination - probably just the port is needed if doing it from WAN.
Redirect to - just the IP address of the host running the service.

If you’re also trying to map to a different port than inbound then gets more complex.

certainly. examples. I have tried combinations of using the ip and port or just port makes no difference. also seriously when should I use a filter or a forward? are they the same thing?




I assume there’s a procedure somewhere on sshing into this thing?? Didn’t actually know I could do that.

firewall.@rule[10]=rule
firewall.@rule[10].target=‘ACCEPT’
firewall.@rule[10].proto=‘udp’ ‘tcp’
firewall.@rule[10].src=‘wan’
firewall.@rule[10].dest=‘lan’
firewall.@rule[10].src_port=‘7777’
firewall.@rule[10].dest_port=‘7777’
firewall.@rule[10].dest_ip=‘192.168.1.77/24’

it’s listed in there.

yeah something isn’t right with this thing, it’s even blocking my Bambu printer now.

I see a bunch of permanent rules, could they be releated? *viewed through ssh (uci show)

You don’t need to add the port on the redirect to.just need to add the ip address
