Hi Guys,

I recently bought this new Router, im very pleased with the performance however...

I have a dedicated server in my house running several vps. One of them is my webserver where i do some webstuff on. Obviously id like this server to be visible from the outside. My previous router (Netgear Nighthawk r7500) I managed to forward all the ports (29, 22, 80, 443 etc) With this new precious router i cant seem to get it to work. I did manage to get port 80 running to the outside world but i cant get HTTPS to work.

I have done some research and found that there are some utilities in my router that can cause this port to be in use already.
  • I have change the port AiCloud uses and also tried to turn it off.
  • Turned the firewall of
  • tried remapping the port from 443(lan) to 543(wan)

Unfortunately no help.

Do any of you guys have suggestions of what i can do to solve this issue? Im probably missing something small. I hope.

Thanks!
Wessel

Not sure, but do any of the gaming-related features this router has, interfere here?
 
Im not sure which of the functions that are? Could you give me a push in the right direction?

Sorry, I don't have that model and I don't (ever) use those features. :(

Guessing? Fast gamer, or something like that? :)

OK. What firmware version are you running? Can you post a screen shot of your port forwarding page?

EDIT: Are you using any VPNs?

P.S. Don't disable the firewall.

Im running Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.384_45713

My port forwarding looks like this:

It might be a bug. There was a similar post here.

I think the only way to know for sure what is going on is if you enable SSH access to the router, log in, and issue this command:
Code:
iptables -S -t nat

Are you running any VPN clients?

Alright, so i did do that. I issued the command and got the following reply:

I use VPN's but not on my router. I have not set up any vpn connection on my router.
 
Alright, so i did some more testing. And when I leave the internal port blank it seems to be working. Ill give it some more time but it seems to be solved for now.

Thanks guys.
