XR500 Port Forwarding
Howdy! I am stumped after being at this most of a week. I am trying to open a couple ports through my Nighthawk XR500 V2.3.2.134 running DumaOS. When I use the grc Shield's Up scanner, it shows all (...
It's either or. uPnP works in most configurations. Specialized configurations, needs to be disabled.
Seriously?? I thought those could work in concert…. Ok. I’ll test that here shortly.

*** have got to be ******* KIDDING me!! All that because of UPnP.... First test says THANK YOU THANK YOU. While I have you, one stupid question - something like iCloud Private Relay - will that inherently block PF due to mismatch WAN? Thanks again!
Anything is possible. Something to test with it enabled or disabled. I've keep iCloud enabled for most of my Apple devices, I only disable WIFI Private IP address on Apple devices while at home. Same goes for any Android devices. Seems like these mfrs along with Windows now have MAC Address randomizers enabled by default which seems to cause odd problems for users at home. IMO, this is not needed while at home. Out side and travelling yes have it enabled.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡Well that seems to have fixed the PF issue. Thank you so much!
On to the next thing if you would - Hybrid VPN. I have uploaded my VPN config file (using Torguard). The router says it connects. whatismyip changes the external ip. However, I can't seem to figure out how to say do this, not that. I am testing running the Hybrid while allowing service on a forwarded port 50268. The port shows open when the Hybrid is not engaged. But closed on both VPN IP/Normal WAN when engaged.
Can you help me separate my traffic please?
Not well experienced with Hybrid VPN. There maybe others that are and hope they post. Look up any VPN information here to start I guess.
