Hi everyone.

Not totally sure that I'm posting in the right section of the forum, hopefully I do.
I'm wondering if anyone else has problems with port forwarding in the two latest Asuswrt-Merlin.
My port forwarding was working fine until I update to 380.61 and then to 380.62.
I did reboot my router and I removed and added the rules again but it doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas, anyone else that has the same problem?

/dimmanramone
 
I was thinking of downgrading to the version that the port forwarding was working.
I noticed also that my WAN IP is not the correct in the GUI, anyone else seeing that?

@RMerlin Any ideas on the WAN IP and the port forwarding issue?

Should be safe to downgrade right?
 
Not RMerlin, but check your nvram usage on the Tools>Sysinfo page. Port forwarding not working is one of the early signs of it being too full. You need a minimum of about 5000 bytes free for the router to work properly.

@john9527 Just check and it seems 12000 to be available.

NVRAM usage 53064 / 65536 bytes

OK...with that out of he way, next thing to check is that the NAT loopback type is set to ASUS and not Merlin (Merlin loopback can fight with some other options on the MIPS based routers)
 
How are you testing your port forwards?
 
@john9527 I was on Merlin and change it to Asus, but it didn't help.

@RMerlin It is port forwards that I was using before the update without any problems. I tested with my work PC and mobile in wired, wireless and 4g network.

The ports forwards are used to ssh in a RPi and for a VPN Server on my NAS.
 
OK....more data....
telnet/ssh to the router and post the output of

iptables -t nat -nvL
 
Here's the output

Hmmm....can you double check that you captured all of the output? (You are missing the PREROUTING and POSTROUTING chains)

If you did capture it all, please post the output of

cat /tmp/nat_rules_xxxx_xxxx

where xxxx is an interface name....like eth0 or ppp0 (do an ls /tmp to find what it is exactly)
 
I did post everything from the output prerouting and postrouting is the one in the first code block. Second code block is my cat output.

It's there, at the top. Did you scroll down past it?

I don't see any rules for SSH. Perhaps we need a screen shot of the port forwarding page in the routers GUI?

Duh...my fault in cut/paste so I could easily look at it.....

But, I think it shows the problem (also in the cat output)
Code: 
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 9041 packets, 913K bytes)
pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

   67  3698 VSERVER    all  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            WAN - IP

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 882 packets, 76321 bytes)
pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Looks like there is a code error resolving a variable 'WAN-IP' (or 'WAN - IP' with embedded spaces)...Either I or @RMerlin will need to dig into the code.
 
@ColinTaylor Yes I don't have the SSH Rules anymore. When I was trying fixing it I just removed them after a while.

@john9527 I just replaced my ip with WAN-IP :)

But as I said in a previous post it seems the wan-ip to be wrong. For example I'm surfing with 193.213.43.1 but in the GUI says 100.5.6.2

Ahh....makes sense :)

Are you running in a double NAT setup? Recently change ISPs or any ISP hardware?

EDIT: I see you are also running a VPN server. Try turning that off just to eliminate a variable.
 
@john9527 No doule NAT, no new ISP or hardware, just new IP when I restarted but I shouldn't have any problems with port forwarding because of that.

With or without the VPN still doesn't work.
 
@ColinTaylor It was just an example :) My ISP is Bredband2 in Sweden but the WAN IP that I can see in the GUI is from
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority in US.

No I'm not using a proxy.
 
I was thinking that it sounds like carrier-grade NAT and then I read...

http://www.sweclockers.com/forum/trad/1443086-itux-bredband2-och-cgn

Itux Bredband2 och CGN
Tänkte bara informera att idag har B2 slagit på CGN för mig som sitter på Itux nät i Gbg.
Märkte det dessvärre efter kl 19 när deras kundtjänst stängt.
Någon annan som har Itux och kan ge er syn på den ISP ni har?

Edit: hittade svar

"Vi håller på att lägga om våra nät till privata IP-adresser. Det här görs via CG-NAT och förändringen införs i väntan på IPv6. Utrullningen kommer ske efterhand och övervakas noggrant. En icke-publik IP-adress påverkar inte vanligt surfande.

Skulle du trots det ha ett genuint behov av en publik IP-adress kan du kontakta vår kundtjänst så ordnar vi det åt dig kostnadsfritt."
