NAT Reflection in 2.1 release… Seems to be working 100% now.
-
So, my NAT reflection has been broken for as long as I can remember for UDP in the past and only TCP NAT reflection has worked for me.
So - For 2.1 I decided to play with it once again. (In case something has changed. )
I tried a variety of things that sort of worked and failed at other times, but in the end what works for me is:
System > Advanced > Firewall / NAT
NAT Reflection mode for port forwards - NONE
Then, in Firewall > NAT:
For every TCP port forward, I use NAT reflection - NAT + Proxy
For every UDP port forward, I use NAT reflection - Pure NATThis seems to give me reliable UDP NAT reflection and Reliable TCP NAT reflection.
I don't know why this combination works, but I like it.
Any other way, seems to break one, the other or both for me.SIP UDP NAT reflection works and so does my UDP VPN (Not that I need it inside the LAN)
The only thing that hasn't worked so far is IAX2 (not that I need it) but that may be a server issue.EDIT: I later also set Enable automatic outbound NAT for Reflection on under: System > Advanced > Firewall and NAT
Now everything works, including IAX2 -
I realize this is old but have you tried the UDP nat reflection with 2.2 beta yet? When I try using it and sending UDP packets from the LAN to the outside IP the reflection isn't working properly. I am wondering if this is a 2.2 thing or something else is causing it.

Blast from the past….
No - I have not. I'm not in a good position to run Beta releases in production.
I think for sure others have. Perhaps they will reply.
