Please help - port forwarding just isn't working

Mark Whitworth

So I've set up a XG Firewall and it seems like everything is working with one exception.  I can't get port forwarding to work, no matter what I try.  My setup is pretty straightforward:

 

  • WAN Interface
  • LAN Interface with three VLANS and three /24 DHCP networks (LAN,GUEST,IOT)

My ruleset is pretty basic, too at this time:

  • Allow all outbound
  • Remote SSL VPN
  • LAN and GUEST to IOT
  • LAN and GUEST to GUEST
  • Catchall DROP and log

I’ve tried setting up a business application rule which allows Source Any to Destination WAN_Interface and the Service (TCP source 8245 to dest 8245).  In forward to, it shows the internal server object, mapped port of 8245 and the zone that server is in.

Can anyone help me understand why this isn’t working?  I’ve read everything I can and searched the forums and I can’t figure it out.  I’ve been doing this for a LONG time and I’ve never had any problems doing port forwarding until this XG Firewall.

 

Thanks for any help.

    Thank you.  That did fix it.  I was convinced I'd tried that, too, but in any event you pointed me back in the right direction.

     

    I know Sophos has a catchall drop rule, but I've seen implications from reading that it isn't logging everything it drops and maybe this shows a bit more?  I don't know, just in case I guess.
