Hi, I’m having a issue with port forwarding on my RB760IGS.
Port forwarding works ok, it redirects ports as it should but after traffic is forwarded a port from which is forwarded stays accessible. It means that even if I forward port 80 to 41280, I can still type my public address and get access to the websie on port 80. I know that in the IP / Services category I can disable http service but this doesn’t solve the problem because then the NAT forwarding doens’t work at all. Is there a way to close a port and making it forwarded at the same time?
Regards
We need to have a look at the configuration because that doesn’t sound like normal port forwarding behavior
export file=anynameyouwish (minus sensitive info like serial number, public IPs, passwords, etc.)
It is not even clear what should be achieved? Forwarding and not forwarding at same time? Closed and open at same time? This makes no sense to me.
THe config will likely reveal all, and should be fixed up quickly.
WHile waiting for the config, the OP should make it clear.
a. Are servers used by only external users or also by internal users
b. If by internal users, how are they accessing the server ( lan ip or ??? )
c. confirm you have publicly reachable WANIP address ( or upstream router does and you can port forward to the MT router )
Now, don’t tell me you never heard of Schroedinger’s ports…
