RBR750 port forwarding stopped working
Port forwarding seemed to have stopped working on my router for my VPN server using port 51820. It is on the latest FW V7.2.6.31, it was working after update but suddenly stopped and hasn't worked since. I reverted back to old FW version and still doesn't work, so not sure what other solution there is.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Is uPnP enabled or disabled? It should be disabled if you have set up any PF configurations.
Port forwarding relies on internet devices connecting with the correct public IP address (which is why the OpenVPN server bundled into Orbi routers requires creating a DDNS URL which the router keeps synchronized with any changes that the Internet Service Provider (ISP) made to the public IP address.
Can you verify that devices attempting to connect are being directed to the current public IP address of the router?
Which VPN server has been deployed on the LAN?
Had this been working on prior version of FW?
Was prior version v.21?
