Re: Port Forwarding firewall rules

Copy & paste from another thread: You can't have dstnat rules with in-interface=ether1, they can't work from inside, because connections will be coming from LAN interface. The best is dst-address=<public address>, but if it's dynamic, you can use dst-address-type=local instead and it will match...

Re: Port Forwarding firewall rules

For port forwarding you need to make a dst nat rule for each port forwarding you would like to accomplish. To allow port forwarded traffic through the firewall, a single FORWARD chain rule needs to be in place. The default firewall rules already contain this rule last time I checked. Quite separate...

Re: Port Forwarding firewall rules

Just use the local IP inside the LAN 192.168.88.10:8123 Alternatively you might be able to use “hairpin NAT” or loopback. Thank you, @chuckt, for your answer. I would still want/need to make it work internally with the same public ip(it's more of a domain). Thank you for referring to Hairpin NAT, i...

There is not a way that I am aware of on your current setup.
