Port forwarding not working
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I just got my router and I wanted to open external port 80 for my raspberry pi web server, however I am unable to access said server from outside, even after googling "whats my ip" and then entering that IP address into my browser search bar, all I got is "X.X.X.X took too long to respond".
When I enter the internal IP address while on the network, it works and loads the website without any issues, however whenever I try to access it from the outside, I either get "took too long to respond" or "refused to connect".
Compare the ""whats my ip" and then entering that IP address" with your C6 WAN IP address:
If they are different then you're behind double NAT or CG-NAT and that's the reason this is not working.
For port-forwarding to work these IP addresses should be the same.
