Orbi Port forward random incoming ports
Hi,

Thank you for your replies.
I manage to discover the issue. The port is open, the problem is on my synology.
My synology is connect with a vpn client, so when its connect I cannot forward the port to it.
Im using this because orbi doesnt support vpn client only server :(
What do you mean by the port is down? The port forwarding that you did in Orbi seems to be working from the Logs you provided.
The device 62.140.132.60 (which seems to be a device connected to Vodafone NL) is reaching to your Synology port 8123 according to the port forwarding you defined.
The port is closed. So if I connect to the device locally it works. But remotely it doesn’t. What makes me more confuse is that the external port is always a random number instead of the port I configured (same as the internal port)
