Port Forwarding - port open but no traffic moves?
Hi there. I have a device inside my LAN that is answering on port 8080. I can connect to it at 192.168.1.xx from elsewhere within the LAN and the service is there and working. Then I forwarded inbound WAN connections and set the rules for both TCP and UDP to forward that one port on my inside server. I tried a few of those "Port Checker" tools on the internet e.g. https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and they can see that the port is Open. So I try: $ wget http://<mywanip>:8080 or try to point my browser at that and it just hangs. I chatted with Telus L1 Tech Team and they were able to hit my service ok, so we know the port-forwarding is working. So my question is why can't I access this service from outside? I have done this several times before without issue, for gaming etc. It's a T3200M and I'm on unlimited fibre. Thanks for any advice. Cheers BryanSolved5.4KViews0likes3Comments
