Port Forwarding new fibre router

[JulianMIlligan]

Hi there ,

I need to port forward port 80 and 22 on my router . Ive done everything correctly on the router but nothing is passed through . I have checked the ports are open and thery are and nothing is worng on the device my end .

I have exposed all ports but still nothing . when I open port 80 or 8080 and enter my external IP address all I see is the router login and not my webserver . ssh on port 22 just times out .

Why @nathan_t , it seems to be a common issue so there must be a common fix or no fix , if it`s no fix then the router has a flaw in it as it offers a feature that does not work .

I responded to somebody else in another thread just now too.   I just checked mine.  I am :

Firmware version

5.4.8.1.291.1.30.1.6

Bootloader version

5.4.8.1.160.13.75

It works fine for me.  I checkedf 21/22/23 and 8080.  All work ok.  I did note however that if I want to check coming in on WAN (say using the DDNS service) then I have to be actually connected externally - for my tests I used my mobile and 4G to check.

To connect whilst internal I had to use the internal address. 

Apart from this it worked ok

Yes they seem to allow basic ports to be used, but game server type ports they have blocked. This is the only reason i chose vodafone fiber so i could host my game servers. I'm in the process of cancelling my contract.

Do you know what ports you need to forward and I can check if mine is the same for you ?
