Port forwarding not working in confirmed environment
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Problem: I have setup W9970 for port forwarding, trying all of the different approaches, but it simply does not work forwarding port 443.
- UPnP
- Virtual Server
- Port Triggering
In these instances, I can ping the IP and get results but the port will not forward to allow any data to be transferred over https.
I have read many other issues and this seems to be a problem with the firmware, I have tried all three versions (220616, 210220, 191204) available for W9970 V4.
Please let me know how we can resolve the problem with the firmware.
Background
I use port forwarding so that I can run a reverse proxy on port 443 to allow a single URL to map to my Synology NAS, with sub-domains for each service I run.
My existing environment and setup has been confirmed working:
- Modem: BT Openreach Huawei EchoLife HG612 3B
- Router: Tenda MW6 mesh network (PPoE)
- NAS: Synology
But I wanted to replace the modem part for better control, custom DNS, single NAT;
- Modem: TP-Link W9970 V4
- Router: Tenda MW6 mesh network (bridge)
- NAS: Synology
Meanwhile
So for now I am back to my original setup without the TP-Link device.
In general you should be on the latest FW release (220616).
Try the following - disable UPnP, reboot the modem and then configure Virtual Server on port 443 for the corresponding LAN IP address - Port Triggering should be disabled.
Make sure that Remote Management via HTTPS is disabled:
