      First thing I would start with is sniff on your wan to validate the traffic is actually hitting your wan IP from the internet.. canyouseeme.org is great for this sort of test.

      You should really just let the nat (port forward) create the wan rule for you - which is the default.

        Show us a screenshot of your port forward rules and WAN firewall rules if it's still not working.

            @patelsaheb Don't set a source port.

            You don't need floating rules. delete them.

            DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                No floating rules are necessary. Don't over-think it.

                          Why would you need to do that, just access the local IP.. setup a host override to resolve whatever fqdn you want to the local IP vs doing nat reflection.

                          If you insist on doing such nonsense - then you have to enable and setup nat reflection.
