Opening Port to Public IP

eholyst

I am trying to make my camera server accessible from the internet. I have followed all of the port forwarding guides but I must have missed something. If I try to access the server internally on the port I opened "8081" works fine. Anything from the outside no luck. I have my dnat rule setup as this "Traffic From-Any" to "Using Service-8081" to "Going to-External(WAN Address)". Actions are "Change the destination to-Camera Server" to "and the service to-8081". I have checked the automatic firewall rule as well. Any help is much appreciated thank you.

    So, now you have confirmation that your IP adresses are what they should be: if external traffic does not reach your UTM (your NAT rule is not triggered), then the cause is external to your UTM. I would agree with Scott_Klassen that the most likely cause is your ISP blocking incoming traffic. I would advise to check with them.

    I tried just changing it to port 80 and translate to 8081 but I get the same thing. I would think that should have at least got me to the utm since I doubt they would be filtering it out from there.

    Since this is a web server or at least by the blueiris software setup screen it is defined as one. Would I need to go into the web server portion of the utm to get this working properly?

    No, "Webserver Protection" module in UTM is required only for advanced protection of internal web services. It is sold as a separate subscription and it is not needed for simple DNAT port publishing, like in your case.

    Try to change incoming port from the UTM side to 8082 and to translate it to 8081 DVR.

    So after much playing around I finally got it to work. Turns out all my rules were valid I just needed to change the position of the dnat rule to the top and it worked. Guess I never really gave much thought to the position of the rules. I appreciate all of your help thank you again.
