Port forwarding over proton VPN on Asus Merlin router.

[Adam1982]

I’ve been trying to set up forwarding on Asus using Proton VPN but it’s not working. been working on it for three days now, I do not know what to do and I really need help. All the ports are closed once I have the vpn on active on my router.

I'm not using Proton VPN services, but look here:

How to manually set up port forwarding - Proton VPN Support

A guide to manually configuring port forwarding for Proton VPN using the NAT-PMP protocol on macOS and Linux

protonvpn.com

When your VPN tunnel is active your exit point to Internet is Proton's VPN server, not your router.

There's no such thing as natmapc, you probably mean natpmpc.

Install Entware then:

opkg install natpmpc

You need to specify the IP address of the gateway you're using, e.g. natpmpc -g 192.168.200.1

It depends how your VPN is configured. The easiest way is to look at the router's VPN Status page and find the Local IP of the tunnel. If it says something like "10.8.3.2" then the gateway address is probably "10.8.3.1".
