A Simple port forward

Fri Aug 18, 2017 11:19 pm

Hi All,

I am quite new to using a MikroTik router. I have managed to initialy setup my Mikrotik and setup my Lan network with some statics on my devices, I have managed to setup an l2tp VPN and have applied SSH Brute force prevention and other little bits, but i am having trouble setting up a basic port forward to one of my devices from my WAN. I have Closed http off as i have setup https on www-ssl. Can anyone please point me in the right direction, I have tried a few tutorials but do not seem to be able connect to the device. Internally can connect so i know the port on the device is correct.

Thanks in advance.

Basic port forwarding command is:
/ip firewall nat
add chain=dstnat dst-address=<public address> protocol=tcp dst-port=<public port> \
    action=dst-nat to-addresses=<internal address> to-ports=<internal port>
Depending on specific conditions, other variations are possible.

Connections must be also allowed through firewall filter, but you don't need to worry about it if you use default config.

There are several ways to do this. This is one example. I prefer this method so that I don't have to keep readjusting my firewall filter.
/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=input comment="Accept established related" connection-state=established,related
add action=accept chain=input comment="Allow LAN access to router and Internet" in-interface=bridge-LAN
add action=drop chain=input comment="Drop all other input"
add action=accept chain=forward comment="Accept established related" connection-state=established,related
add action=accept chain=forward comment="Allow LAN access to router and Internet" connection-state=new in-interface=bridge-LAN
add action=accept chain=forward connection-nat-state=dstnat comment="Accept Port forwards"
add action=drop chain=forward comment="Drop all other forward"
Noticed the sixth line.

Now, for your Nat rules
/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat comment="Default masq" out-interface=ether-WAN
add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat dst-port=123 in-interface=ether-WAN protocol=tcp to-addresses=192.168.1.2 to-ports=321
Notice I have in-interface set. Very important.

I found this post on google and i want to do a simple port forward aswell. I followed pcunite example but it doesnt work.

I have a hAP ac with default configuration and I'm trying to open ports so people from the outside can join my quake 3 server.

export compact gives this
