      I have some trouble with forwarding some ports..

      I try to forward (other) port: 1433 (SQL port) redirected to our SQL Server
      But when I test if it can be seen from the "outside" it fails.

      When I enable a pre-defined port, like smtp & https it works flawless.

      I have also tried to make an alias for the SQL ports that I need, doesnt work either.

      I'm using a 2.0 beta build of 28 July, this weekend I will update to the latest build, hope this will solve it.

      Anyone knows or has similar issues?

      Thank you in Advance!

        You need firewall rules to allow the traffic.

          After making a NAT port forward, it automaticly generates a Firewall Rule with the same conditions

            You might try a different port as a test, or check with your ISP to see what they might block.

            Some ISPs filter common exploit vectors, and exposing your database port to the Internet is not a good idea in general.
