      Hello everyone,

      Today I had our Vodafone station set to bridge mode and set the WAN interface to DHCP on the Sense.
      The Sense received our public IPv4, DNS server also pulled it, Internet everything works fine so far BUT...

      My servers are no longer accessible from the outside, all ports are closed according to PortCheck, although everything worked fine before with a FritzBox in exposed host mode.

      What I noticed now is that when I enter my public IP in the browser I end up in the Sense login screen?!?! First of all, I don't want that at all and it's not set by default, but the login screen is still accessible from outside and secondly
      Could this possibly explain the error that the IP points to the Sense GUI and the port forwardings are therefore ignored?

      Does anyone know what I need to change here? I've been looking for an error in the configuration for hours...

      Best regards

        @TrashCo92 Post your WAN firewall rules.

          @TrashCo92 If you’re on LAN you need to enable NAT reflection on the rule to use the public IP.

          If on the WAN side you’ve allowed access by firewall rule.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            Im on the WAN side, but i have never allowed the access, there is also no firewall rule that allows this. 🤔
