Requirements for port forwarding........

A. Firewall rule generic that allows dst-nat packets intended for ports/IP on the router, as identified on dst-nat rules
B. The dst-nat rule specific to the server

Outcome on port testing software.
- port will be visible on scans but will appear closed {normal}

C. if the dst-nat rule has further delineations of which IPs are allowed to access the server from the WAN Side, (source address, or source address list)
- port will NOT be visible on scans.

To confirm a port forwarding is working two easy methods.
a. use your cell phone and access your server via the WAN port
b. get a friend to try and connect to your server using your WANIP address from their pc.

Hi,
Port forwarding is a kind of bi-direction activity.
So please do not specify value in the column of in-interface list
