1- TCP and UDP , which one of their numbers do i put in as dts Port ?!?
2- for the “to addresses” , i should use my PS4 ip, right?
3- In Interface , what should i use for this? Wlan? ( i have wireless internet, everything is set up on my mikrotik sxt lite5 but i use a TP-link router to have WiFi ! and I’m connected to everything with WiFi!)
thanks but i know those things, i just don’t know which one of these numbers is the port !
TCP: 1935,3478-3480
UDP: 3074,3478-3479
right now i put this (3478-3480) for both ports and chose Wlan1 for “In Interface” and it connected to the game servers(4 out of 5 times!) i think it worked! i don’t know if it was a fluke or not!
You clearly do not know these things as your previous post indicated a lack of knowledge.
Post your config and then we can see where you are going wrong.
“1- TCP and UDP , which one of their numbers do i put in as dts Port ?!?” All of the ports you have mentioned. You need 2 rules, 1 for TCP and one for UDP.
“2- for the “to addresses” , i should use my PS4 ip, right?” Correct, use your PS4 address
“3- In Interface , what should i use for this? Wlan? ( i have wireless internet, everything is set up on my mikrotik sxt lite5 but i use a TP-link router to have WiFi ! and I’m connected to everything with WiFi!)” In-Interface (if you had actually watched the video) is explained as the inbound internet interface. You have mentioned you are on a WISP setup but is it routed IP or do you have a pppoe tunnel? If using pppoe then use the pppoe_client as your in-interface.
I did watch that video (along with 5 more before i posted here!) but since i don’t know anything about this subject(literally!) if a single thing is different from my own setup i don’t know what to do !!! i know the steps to set this up, but some of the information is unclear to me! i took a picture of my winbox i hope it helps https://pasteboard.co/HNpIuDo.png
I know absolutely nothing about networks and routers and stuff so your number 1 explanation just doesn’t help me(sorry) if you tell me which one on those numbers i should put in that would be great!
also i chose Wlan1 for the “In-Interface” and it worked last night and connected to the game servers but that was just once i haven’t checked again . . .
You need ALL the numbers you have mentioned
You need to change the in-interface to pppoe-out1
You need another rule for the UDP traffic, to do this, open up your current one and choose “copy” which will open up another window copied from the first, go to general, change TCP to UDP and then change the numbers to 3074,3478-3479. Hit OK on both rules and you’re done.
in winbox, go down to the NEW TERMINALS selection on the left hand side menu and open that up.
At the command line Type
/export hide-sensitive file=myconfig16nov
Then go to the FILES selection on the left hand side menu and open that up
You should see your file name appear.
Right Click on teh file name and download to a location on your computer.
(you can then delete the file in winbox).
Use notepad++ to open the file.
Copy and paste the file into a post here
Highlight the config file and uUse the CODE icon above (just to the left of the quotes symbol - you know where BOld and Italics and Underline are located above the post/text box
I did that man, your guide is perfect and simple and i did it but still it didn’t work, what i made last night didn’t work either !! i don’t get it! how did it work last night for 2 hours but doesn’t work even once tonight!?! what the heck is wrong with my internet!
quick question , in the action bar in the “to port” i should put “3478-3480” for tcp and “3478-3479” for udp, right? cuz it didn’t accept “1935,3478-3480” and “3074,3478-3479”
also i appreciate your help man, i know it’s frustrating to help someone who doesn’t know anything about networks!
Almost LOL, the last step is highlight all the code text starting with and including
/
and ending with and including
startup
As to the config.
Not sure what layer 7 FW rule has in play so I will ignore it.
The funky redirect dstnat rule (not sure what this accomplishes as you already have a fW rule?)
In general be careful of using the ! as you can inadvertently include many things not intended.
1- DHCP gateway of .30? I am not an expert but normally people use .01 for gateway.
2. In regard to the DST NAT rules for the PS4, they are almost there and the first thing I noticed is that your dst ports and to ports do not line up at least for TCP.
In the straightfoward case where there is no change between the dstports on the traffic coming to the WAn and the ports you want them going to on the server there is no need to use TO-PORTs, just the to-address!!
Notes: Nothing wrong with your in-interface=ppppoeee but I have two WAN ISPs and thus using WAN interface covers both and in the case of failure, folks know to access my servers via my dyndns name and that switches over to the backup ISP when necessary and thus my rule captures both cases.
hi
this is the first time i tried to change anything , so if there is something weird it’s factory default !
I removed that redirect rule you mentioned (i think) i know it wasn’t there a couple of days ago, i don’t know how it got there!
1- I didn’t know about the gateway .30 so it’s either factory default or the guy who installed it set it to 30 ( do i need to change it?) it was 1 year ago!
2- yeah the dst ports and to port was like that last night too, but i had no problem connecting ! anyway i removed to port . . .
I tried to make it as close to the sample you put there but i just don’t have a WAN option for “in-interface” there’s just “Wlan 1” “pppoe-out1” and “Ether1” and 4 other “All” options here’s a pic https://pasteboard.co/HNsTlmz.png
here’s what it looks like now :
i did see that but don’t know about it ! about a year ago i couldn’t log in and i called the guy that installed it and he couldn’t log in my device from his shop so he had to come in and manually reset the device, he said my password was “Admin” so someone could have logged in and changed it ! I changed the password after that.
no that’s not my code i don’t even know how to change codes !! it’s probably from the guy who installed it!
I would save a copy of my config
/export file=backupofmyconfig
and then set the router to defaults with the pin reset process.
apparently one has to install the latest software using netinstaller or something. I have never done this.
otherwise the hacked files could still be resident on the unit.
After that, then use notepadd++ and cut and paste the code bits you trust into Winbox at the command line
by opening the NEW Terminals Window.
Once thats done, you will be starting from a clean build that is worthwhile building upon.
Right now its a house of cards and the base is potentially rotten.
turned out i was doing the Port forward right!!! i just didn’t have one of the ports i needed ! which is weird cuz i took the ports from the PSN site!!!
here’s how i solved it. in one last desperate effort to make it work, i ran the game on my PS4 and went to winbox, I check the connections section in Firewall and found all the PS4 connections and they all had the same ports as i made the NAT rule for, except for one of them which was a UDP protocol , so i added that port to my UDP protocol NAT rule and it worked instantly ! it was so Dumb and simple !
