Title: Can't make port forwarding to work
Post by: lelejau on November 15, 2025, 08:52:55 PM
I'm trying to set up a port forwarding so my friend can join my dedicated game server. This is my config so far:

But it simply does not work. I'm connecting thru WiFi using my mobile phone to test it, and I can't connect either. Disabled physical ethernet interface on my pc and using internet from mobile phone.

I can see in the logs that the requests are being blocked?

I managed to do it once but I had to reinstall and lost all my configuration, now the port forwarding simply doesn't want to work. What am I doing wrong here?
It worked fine though when I was using a Tp-Link router and did the forwarding there. What is Opnsense complaining about?

You mistyped either the port you wanted to open (according to the rules, 27105), or the one your tried to contact, which, according to the firewall log, is 27015.
