Port Forwarding Not Working mapped port greyed out?

Martyn Campbell

Hi,

 

I am trying to forward my emby server port and have deleted/retried 5-6 times now.  I followed the guide here

 

https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/122976

 

but it will not open?

 

here are my setup screens, can anyone please help?

 

Thank you!

    On Source you leave as It is (WAN).

    On Destination you put the WAN Port of XG, and on service leave only TCP/8096. (Emby doesn't use UDP/8096)

    Then on Forward to you leave as It is.

     

    Also, be careful putting Emby open to the entire internet, It's not safe. Also TCP/8096 on Emby is plain-text, consider using XG WAF with a valid certificate for this.

     

    Thanks,

    Fantastic! all working, thank you!

     

    I have to ask though as this does not make sense to me, why would the destination be my wan port? I am sure it would have been the emby IP address?

     

    I really am green on all of this but learning fast! no idea what XG WAF is, I will research when I get everthing up and running, nearly there!

     

    Thanks again

    Destination is the External IP the XG should listen on for the port you created/selected.  Since you need the XG to reply to the traffic. 

    The Protected server is the one server the Port should be forwarded to. 

     

    In other words Client-->XG WAN IP-address (destination) -->NAT happends here-->Server to access (protected server)
