I have nzbget installed locally on router 192.168.1. 1 listening on port 82. I can connect when on LAN.
I am at work so connecting over WAN. I have port forwarding enabled:
port range :82
local op: 192.168.1.1
local port:82
Protocol: BOTH
I use port checker https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and tells me the port is closed.. sure enough I cannot get to nzbget.
However I know nzbget is listening on port 82 and if I disable the firewall it works.
I had a similar problem with lightttpd and convinced myself I fixed this by simplying the conf. However now I believe I either simply don't understand how port forwarding works or it is not working. This is a simple rule, I applied settings, rebooted router and same problem.
Please help
(I have configured VPN and can work this way but I really wanted to get it working directly.. as much as anything I want to understand whether I am wrong or whether its a problem on the router).
thanks
