Strange Gaming Port Forward Situation
-
Maybe some of you more experienced folks could lend a hand to help resolve my unique situation. I have residential ATT gigabit fiber and have the gateway in ippassthrough mode. I am trying to host a dedicated steam game and have the NAT port forward in place. My friends can see the server in the server list and connect without issue. Here is where it gets strange... I cannot see my server in the public server list. I can, however, connect to it internally by direct connect to the LAN port. I cannot for the life of my figure this out. Can someone walk me through this? I sure would appreciate it. This will help me tremendously in the long run. Thank you!

This resolved the issue but I don't know if this is a safe method. Can someone explain what risks or vulnerabilities I have opened by enabling this? I also have Pure NAT enabled.
