Flight Simulator Steam Edition (FSX) port forwarding

Thu May 07, 2020 7:07 pm

So i recently got fibre and they provided me with a Mikrotik hap ac2 router.

I decided to start using it cause my previous router had an issue with one of the lan ports.

According to FSX and steam the ports i needed to forward was 27016 and 6112 on both tcp and udp.

See attachment 1 for the rules.

I used Nmap to see if the ports where open on these setting and it returned with "tcp filtered dtspc".

I don't have a static ip and went through all the In. Interfaces and bridge was the only one that showed the port as partially open, I have a ppp option (saw on one of the many tutorials that's what i need to select but it does not work). If i use my current public IP address in Dst. Address it provides the same results.

My internal IP is 192.168.101.204 and i have my firewall set to allow both those ports although i have tested is as well with my firewall off and it gives the same results.

My issues seems to be that the port isn't completely open, also when i have the forwards open i cant see any other servers on FSX. I also have two roommates so if i understand correctly this will also forward their traffic on those ports to my PC. Please correct me if I am wrong. If i use the steam service where you can add favorites services it shows my server but my friends still seem to struggle to connect to it.

Both housemates and i are directly connected to the router and the friends i am trying to host for is externally. I am not sure if I am missing something obvious also i use to be able to forward ports on my ASUS router with no issues.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

No worries,
Would update in general to the latest stable OS.

Will need to see your config on the hapac2
/export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish

Also, a network diagram so we have a clear appreciation of where the hapac2 is in the network.

at first glance, your dst-nat rules, should have your WAN interface as their " in-interface", which is traffic coming from the Internet.

you have set "in-interface" to be your bridge, this is the reason
this will also forward their traffic on those ports to my PC
