Thanks all for the help - have my UTM almost fully integrated into my network, and really excited about its capabilities even thus far.
I am having a few issues with port forwarding however. I'm obligated for various reasons to have an Actiontec router between my UTM and the internet - FIOS customer. I'm double NATted - I can deal with that.
So I have internet -> Actiontec -> UTM -> rest of my network. Previously, I had a netgear router instead of the UTM (my personal router - I have no faith in the Actiontec).
I am nearly positive I correctly configured port forwarding (firewall rules set up, masquerading set up, and specific NAT rules set up). I have a NAS device inside my network with two mobile apps, both using the same port. One app connects fine, but slowly. The other app won't connect.
In looking at the logs, it looks like the Actiontec accepts the external traffic, forwards it to the UTM, the UTM accepts it, forwards it inside, and then the reply coming out gets stuck between the UTM and the Actiontec - the Actiontec is actually blocking it. Is this an MTU issue?
192.168.0.5 is the address of the UTM inside the Actiontec's 192.168.0.0/24
****** is the IP of the external device I expect to connect in
YYYYYY is a random (to me) IP that I have no idea why is being referenced out
ZZZZZ is ANOTHER random (to me) IP that I have no idea why is being referenced out
The same logs repeat every time I try this. I looked up YYYY and ZZZZ, and they belong to Akamai and Apple, respectively - are they error reports? Is my NAS device trying to submit error reports about the Actiontec misbehaving.
Here are the logs:
Inbound Traffic Accepted Traffic - Service Destination Ports 5001-5006: TCP [******XX]:7296->192.168.0.5:5001 on clink1
Outbound Traffic Blocked - Default policy ICMP type 3 code 1 192.168.0.5->[YYYYYYYYY] on clink1
Firewall Info Rate Limit 1 messages of type [15] Default policy suppressed in 1 second(s)
Outbound Traffic Blocked - Default policy ICMP type 3 code 1 192.168.0.5->[YYYYYYYYY] on clink1
Outbound Traffic Blocked - Default policy First packet in connection is not a SYN packet: TCP 192.168.0.5:51809->[ZZZZZZZZZZZ]:5223 on clink1
What to do? Will turning on ICMP on the UTM help sort things out? Should I back off MTUz? The UTM is set up as a static IP, will moving it to DHCP help?
