Hi @bsudhir6,
Here are some tips for you if port forwarding doesn't work:
1. Make sure the server is accessible from the internal network.
2. Make sure your router obtains the public WAN IP address, if your WAN IP is not a public one, port forwarding will not work. (CGNAT address is also private IP address that ranges from 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255.)
3. Check the firewall settings of your server, make sure it allows traffic from the outside Internet.You may check more detailed instruction following the FAQ:Why port forwarding feature is not working

Hi @bsudhir6,
Yes, WAN IP should be a public IP address. The WAN IP is assigned dynamically by ISP. If the WAN IP address of the router is not a public IP address, but a private IP address, that means there is another NAT device connected to the WAN port of the router. You need to open the service ports on that device as well.
The NAT device is the router/modem from the ISP.

Thank you for the reply. The router is connected to a switch and switch was connected to another router/modem from ISP. wanted to check if it is not possible to just route within home network? or atleast within 192.168.4.* ???
