[SOLVED] Port Forwarding IP Camera
-
I have 5 static ip here. What I did was to use a different public ip to test the connection to the ip camera.
With the telnet, I got these two errors with the external ip.
HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented. Connection: Close
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request. Conection: CloseWhen I tried to telnet inside the network, I got this error.
Could not open connection to the host, on port 9082: Connection failed
-
when you say "connection failed", is that instantly? or after a timeout? also, the other HTTP errors are odd. are you saying that if you telnet to the internal IP on port 9082 it works, but if you telnet to the external one on port 9082 you get the HTTP errors?
-
After I entered the telnet command, there was a blank screen. As soon as I hit the enter key, the error came up pretty much instantly.
When I use the computer outside of the network, I got an error when I tried to telnet to the camera with the public IP.
When I use the computer inside the network, I got a connection error (Time Out) when I tried to telnet to the camera with the public IP.Since the LAN IP works, I did not try to telnet the IP camera with the LAN IP.
-
well, if you get a connection HTTP or whatever error, you are getting to the camera. the failure to connect at all via the public IP from inside is presumably because you have nat reflection disabled. this is weird then, it is almost like the camera is disallowing connections from IPs other than inside the LAN.
-
Thank You for trying to help.
I think the connection was established. But, the camera can't sent any information out.
So, Set the Outbound then reset the router.
The problem has been resolved.

What does 'set the outbound' mean?
-
NAT:Outbound
- Manual Outbound NAT rule generation
This is weird. Doesn't the NAT (Port Forward) automatic address the outbound and inbound issue?
-
No, port forwarding only deals with inbound. Also, you shouldn't have need to manually set outbound NAT unless you were doing something non-standard. If you set manual NAT (AON) but didn't actually change anything, that was most likely a red herring, and the router reboot is what "fixed" this.
-
I did add a rule in the outbound of creating a static port 9082.
This is interesting. I would changed that back and find out.
-
where did you get that port number from?
-
That's the http port that the IP camera uses.
-
But that is for inbound (port forwarding.) That has nothing to do with the port numbers in the outbound NAT settings. What specifically did you set for the outbound NAT entry?
-
Interface Source S. Port Static Port
WAN 192.168.1.0/24 9082 * * * * Yes
WAN 192.168.1.0/24 9002 * * * * Yes
WAN 192.168.1.0/24 * * * * * No -
Outbound NAT should only be for new connections initiated from inside. Have you tried deleting them and rebooting pfsense?
-
Just disabled the whole Outbound NAT.
You are right. A simple Firewall State Reset was all it is needed.
thanks.
