DG8041W port forwarding

[Kuvon]

Nothing is being port forwarded no matter what I do...

I using the Ipv4 address correctly, is there something wrong here?

Hi @Kuvon 

By device, I mean computers, phones, tablets door bells etc.

Hi Kuvon

Thanks for the update 🙂

@KeithFrench thanks for helping 🙂

[Kuvon]

So I checked my settings again, DMZ seems to be turned off actually, and the ports specified are open still when using the server. So it seems to be working. Thanks for helping.

I dont understand what you mean by device sorry. I'm using my personal computer which is connected with ethernet directly and wanting to portforward to host a game server.

I have just set this up & tested them, 9607 works perfectly, as both TCP & UDP. TCP port 8087 worked the first time as well. Whilst I include screenshots of the TCP ports being open, I have a different method to test UDP ports.

TCP/UDP 9607

TCP 9607 Test

Note: I should have restricted 8087 to just TCP in the rule below, a typo on my part:-

TCP port 8087

TCP 8087 Test

When I know what sort of device you are forwarding these ports to, I will help further. I could never recommend using the DMZ as that just totally exposes the device.

[KeithFrench]

I did ask before, what sort of device are you trying to forward this port to?

I'll test this in a while for you.

[Kuvon]

So I added DMZ function and it is now open.

[Kuvon]

I will upload a bunch of screenshots to see if you can notice anything wrong.

Wan Config

DMZ

Firewall level

DHCP server config

I really am lost at what is causing me not to be able to open any ports

Ive tried leaving it on auto, but it doesnt change anything. It needs both TCP and UDP and I tried making two separate rules for each but same thing. The application still lets me know theres issues with my portforwarding and all the website tests report closed. Also I need to portforward a HTTP port 8087, how can I do this? Thank you

[KeithFrench]

The WAN Name should be left at "Auto". Further than this, please can you confirm:-

1. Is this port TCP or UDP?
2. What sort of device are you trying to forward this port to?

How are you testing this?

If I get the chance tomorrow I will test it on the Huawei.
