Virtual Services(Port Forwarding) on the Router Doesn't Take Effect

If you can open 22 which means the port forwarding is working and effective, but not for other ports, so, refer to the guide above.

I assume ftp is considered as dangerous for your ISP? Or they don't allow you to host network drive stuff?

You should check this with your ISP.

To test that, you can set the external port to a different one like 2000, if that works, that means the port forwarding is effective anyway but your ISP seems to be behind this.

  @Clive_A my ISP does not block port 21 or 22

I don't understand why I'm not able to make the connection. 

I have given the steps and suggestions.

I don't have a comment before you feedback with the results.

  @Clive_A - I did try your recommendation, and it is not working.  I also provided evidence that my ISP is not blocking inbound port 22 also.

 

How can I further troubleshoot?

In the guide, it also asks for the local test. Please follow it up and provide the results in one reply. Or asking for each result one by one will only waste your time.

BTW, is this from a local device testing this port? PC(LAN)>WAN port? You probably run the port scan from the web.

Please mosaic your sensitive information. Here is a list of information considered sensitive:

1. Public IP address on your WAN if your WAN is.

2. Real MAC address of your device.

3. Your personal information including address, domain name, and credentials.

For troubleshooting purposes, when a WAN IP is needed, please leave some values visible for identification.
