Title: Several ports are not open
Post by: amd.64 on July 15, 2026, 01:40:04 AM
Can anybody PLEASE tell me if and where I went wrong.

I have three OPNSense routers / firewalls in use, this is the only one I am having trouble getting ports open. Shentel, the ISP says they are not blocking ports. The attached image is of the WAN rules.

Thank You

I forgot to add that this system is running 26.1.10 if it matters.

You might be missing NAT rules for port forwarding: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/nat.html#destination-nat-port-forward

Those 192.168.x.x addresses are not reachable from the internet so you can also remove those destinations from the WAN rules.  You probably just want to keep the WAN ports open (no src/dest filters, or maybe just dest=WAN address) and let the port forward rules direct the traffic to the correct destinations internally.

Hopefully you've got strong authentication on each of these services you're exposing.  If you'll always be connecting from known networks, it might also be good to put source filters on the WAN rules.  Longer term, you might want to look into WireGuard for this kind of stuff but there's more setup.
