Unable to open ports on Archer MR600
Unable to open ports on Archer MR600
Unable to open any incoming ports by configuring a virtual server. PC behind router is Win10-64 v2004. Have contacted the ISP and they claim to only block incoming port 25 - and all others are open. Internet browsing works without issues. There is an SSH server on a PC (192.168.1.100) attached (wired) to the router. The SSH server is configured to use port 222 - incoming and outgoing. The outgoing SSH client functions normally and I can access remote machines via the internet connection. Configuring a virtual server for 192.168.1.100 with both incoming and outgoing ports set to 222 does not result in an open incoming port being visible. Using https://canyouseeme.org/ to check open ports. Setting 192.168.1.100 as a DMZ and rebooting the router does not open any ports - including 222. When pinged from a remote machine, the WAN IP address times out. Dynamic DNS (on the PC with the server) updates properly but the WAN:222 is not visible from the internet. However - enabling 'Remote Management' in router administration opens Port 443 and that port is visible using a port check tool. Disabling closes that port and it is then no longer visible. Help configuring the router would be appreciated.

@Ivaylo The issue has been resolved and was not caused by the MR600 router/configuration or the ISP but by a misconfigured Windows Defender firewall inbound rule.
Evidently, not all TP Link routers deal with these rules in the same fashion. For example, we have an istallation with a TL-WDR3600 and an identical SSH server and there are no issues with the associated Windows Defender firewall rule. That same rule shut down the port to the MR600 router.
If anyone should have this sort of problem arise in the future, it would be a worthwhile 'first step' to temporarily turn off the Windows Defender firewall and verify if that is not the source of the problem. Appreciate all of the assistance provided in helping to resolve the problem.
