<![CDATA[Problems with port forwarding through VPN]]>I am trying to get specific ports to be routed through the VPN from different machines. I have attached shots of my settings below. Traffic is being passed if I look at my packet captures, but apparently either it is only going one way through the VPN or something else is blocking it since I am still getting reports of being unconnectable. Can someone please help me?

I thought I had figured out the solution to this problem a while ago but apparently I was wrong.

So I am in the process of figuring that part out as we speak. I have it setup on pFsense but now I need to convert a script for synology to work in ubuntu.

Thank you for the help and made me look outside the what I was already thinking.

What are you trying to port forward, specifically?

192.168.1.40:23928 <-> VPN
192.168.1.221:26688 <-> VPN

Is that what you were asking?

I don't know.  What are you trying to port forward, specifically?

Torrents specifically. 2 different machines and 2 different ports.

Source ports are generally random and dynamic and it's usually a mistake to specify them:

Specify the source port or port range for this rule. This is usually random and almost never equal to the destination port range (and should usually be 'any').
Hint: you can leave the 'to' field empty if you only want to filter a single port.

Buried under an Advanced button for a reason.

So for the NAT rules I should move the SRC port to the Dest port?
