Forwarding ports?

cmb

I will roll back to 2.1.5 to see if it works tonight and I will keep you posted if anything.

Don't bother, that won't change anything. There's definitely nothing wrong with port forwards in any version.

Go through the troubleshooting steps listed in the port forward troubleshooting document johnpoz linked. Try to connect from outside, go to Diag>States and filter on :8080. See it there? If not, packet capture on WAN filtering on port 8080. If so, what does the state look like?

So here my setup the 192.168.1.1 is completely separate and has no contact with pfSense. Later tonight i will send the information

Thank you

Im just curious why it does not work for 8080 when i can forward on pfSense port 80 and 443 with no problem

Thank you

So what does a sniff show on the lan of pfsense - does it show it sending the traffic? Does dd-wrt answer? Looks like not answering to me.

o snap i think your right..i just tried port 22 i unchecked pfSense ssh to test the port then I tick ssh then open the port it worked. Hmm…howcome ddwrt not answering? well..worst case just create a vpn and connect to ddwrt

THANKS :)

The connections are in time wait, which means they were successful at the TCP level bidirectionally, so your port forwards are fine. I presume that's the web interface of the DDWRT, what did you see in a browser trying to browse to :8080 on your IP from outside?

killmasta93

i think i need to play with some iptables in ddwrt to make it listen on that port because WAN is disabled on ddwrt

killmasta93

o snap…port 80 is also ddwrt internally and 8080 wont work because its for the WAN and its disabled.

My 2 options are:

Change port 80 on pfSense which I really dont want to
or
find a way to change port 80 on ddwrt
OR
is it possible two devices running on the same port (80) be able to port forward (maybe crazy idea) :P

Thanks

There's really nothing preventing you from forwarding 8080 -> 80 or whatever. As a generic note, you'd better get HTTPS working everywhere. Sorry but sending firewall/router credentials in plaintext over internet is a very bad practice.

johnpoz

Why anyone would allow public access to their admin gui of anything is beyond me.. If you want to admin dd-wrt while your remote then vpn into pfsense and do it that way. Then you don't have to forward anything either ;) This is way MORE secure..

Thanks johnpoz and doktornotor your completely right. Its better though VPN i guess i got used to ddwrt for a while didn't want to let it go. :P Just trying to adapt more to pfSense now :)

Thank you again
