need help in simple portforwarding rules

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,

I’m sorry if this is a simple question, but I need help in basic port forwarding. Here’s what I want to do,

  1. To access my PC via RDP from outside the network. (outside to internal )
  2. From the internal network, to access other PCs on the internet via RDP. (internal to outside)

I am able to do 1. just fine, however when the NAT Rule is enabled and I am inside my network I can’t open RDP connections from internal to outside. However I am able to access internal to internal RDP connections.

On a consumer router I never had this issue and only need to create rule so that I can access from outside to inside.

Mikrotik is new to me and maybe there is something else I am missing.

I’ve looked at Hairpin NAT and it is not what I’m looking for.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

when you were configured your port forwarding from outside to inside did you add incoming interface (your public interface) for that rule? If no the rule will be global so every traffic for dst port 3389 will forward back to your inside computer.

Thank you!

Under WinBox I simply select the in Interface as pppoe-out and everything is working as I expected! :open_mouth: :open_mouth:


Thanks again!
