Port 993 refused

  • S

    So I run a mail server and use rainloop webmail. I have the mailserver and the webserver running on the same machine. I thought I had all the NAT and rules done but I have this problem and I am having troubling seeing where its blocked. So I can send and receive mail with another client like my phone app. But when I try to connect to the server through webmail I get "can't connect to server". Rainloop tells me its being actively blocked (IMAP on 993). When I try on the unsercured port (143) everything works. Both ports NAT to my machine. I'm new to this so I don't "see" fw rules clearly. Does this have anything to do with my webserver and mailserver being at the same ip? I just built this router. I had no complications on my netgear, if that info helps… pics attached.

    Windows FW is off on host machine.

    Yes… I'm running it on a windows machine. I know, I know. What can I say, I'm learning as I go.

    Obviously something on the target host.

    Run a Diagnostics > Packet capture on the inside interface for host 192.168.1.5 port 993 and test again from the outside.

    Look at the capture. See what you see.

    yeah. I don't know how to interpret this stuff. 143 connects but 993 doesn't. I can't put it together. anyways, here is the packet log. Any help is appreciated. I know its hard helping a noob.

    LAYER 8 Netgate

    You didn't filter on port 993.

    Looks like the server is probably returning NAKs. Hard to tell. Go back to diagnostics > packet capture, choose Level of detail: Full and press view capture. Post that.

    Since you ran another capture you'll have to take another one for port 993.

    Actually, better yet, just download the capture file and attach it to a reply.

    If that concerns you be sure to edit out of the above. lmk if you need me to do it in mine.

    It is obvious from what has already been shown that the port forward is working and the server is responding with something with 0 bytes of payload.

    Hahahaaha. How embarassing. Well, at least you know what you are dealing with now. Thank you for wasting your time on me. I do appreciate it. I couldn't upload the .cap nor did it make sense when I converted it to a .txt so here is what I got. Public IP included.

    cripes. I swear I didn't do that strikethrough. Just give up on me.

    Ok so now to figure out why changing the router would cause the server to reject the connection… I made no changes on that side.
