General Discussion / Port Forwarding issues
« on: January 22, 2023, 04:42:17 pm »
I am on the edge of desperation
I have now read several posts and howtos like:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=8783.0
but I still can't reach my goal.
The internal traffic works as desired via all the VLANS etc.. But when I want to share my gaming server, I just can't get to it and according to the opn-ports tools, the port is still shown as closed.
Now I ask myself, what am I missing?
I have a router from my ISP and have DMZ mode switched on, so it forwards everything to Opnsense. In the Opnsense I have entered the NAT Port Forwarding as in the forum above, from this a rule was directly set up in the WAN.
Under Firewall->Settings-> Advanced I have set the marks for Reflection for port forwards and Automatic outbound NAT for Reflection.
However, I cannot access it via my ext. IP.
Opnsense is still quite new territory for me, maybe that's the reason
