I'm trying to access Transmission web through WAN and I can't get it to work.

My firewall-start file looks like this (-rwxr-xr-x /jffs/scripts/firewall-start):

#!/bin/sh
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 51413 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --destination-port 51413 -j ACCEPT
ifconfig br0:trans 192.168.1.10 up
sh /jffs/scripts/firewall start skynetloc=/tmp/mnt/sda1/skynet # Skynet Firewall Addition
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 9091 -j ACCEPT

My settings.json looks like this:

I can see that the router is listening on port 9091:

Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9091 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

I have both Diversion and Skynet installed and the next step after web access to Transmission is to set it up to work behind VPN.

I have no problem using Transmission web inside my LAN on port 9091, but from WAN 9091 is closed, so it looks like a firewall issue?

It's not a firewall issue...

Understand what these config setting really mean in the transmission config file...

"rpc-authentication-required": true,
"rpc-bind-address": "0.0.0.0",
"rpc-enabled": true,
"rpc-host-whitelist": "",
"rpc-host-whitelist-enabled": false,
"rpc-password": "PASSWORD",
"rpc-port": 9091,
"rpc-url": "/transmission/",
"rpc-username": "USERNAME",
"rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*",
"rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,

You can always review here...

Just keep in mind, any service on the WAN can be problematic...

When I opened port 9091 in the AC86u GUI it worked, didnt need to re-edit settings.json. Now i just need to configure it to work behind VPN.
