Port forwarding not working and WAN IP and external IP different
Hello!
I am trying to set up port forwarding and it not able to make it up and running.
Below steps have been followed and checked.
The port is working within the local network ( I can access the application from another device in same network)
The windows firewall rule is enabled.
Address reservation and virtual server is set up with my 192.168** IP address which hosts the application.
Only thing I am not able to understand is why the WAN IP on my router is not matching when compared with the IP checked online (like what is my IP in Google search)
The WAN IP is public IP 100.y.y.y and the IP shown on internet is 219.y.y.y. Is this causing the port forwarding issue? and why these two IP's are different? My connection type is PPPoE
Regards,
