Firewall/NAT Issues

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I am hosting a Minecraft server (actually several) behind a hEX PoE Router. I have all the ports open in the NAT but not all appear open when I check through canyouseeme website. Also I have a webserver and outside of my network I can see the webpage, but inside the network (still using public IP) it goes to the router login. This is confusing because I would assume all traffic would be routed the same way (internally I am still checking the public ip).

My old ASUS Router I had only ports 30000-30100 for the Minecraft servers and 80 for my Webserver. I have the same on the Mikrotik but cannot access the Minecraft server with the public IP.

Thanks for the help.

Search for Hairpin NAT :slight_smile:

And by the way, with your rules no wonder you are getting to the router itself: they are configured only for ether1.

Thank you!

If anyone is interested, this video is very good on how to accomplish this:

Steve is great, he hasn’t steered me wrong yet, one just has to get used to the hack cent.
