No firewall on RAX30
I was attempting to port forward on my new RAX30 nighthawk but I am having issues finding the firewall, since https://kb.netgear.com/8219/How-do-I-set-up-firewall-rules-on-my-NETGEAR-DSL-modem-router said there was one.
Any help would be great! I have ports forwarded but I cant connect to them with my external IP and ismyportopen said they were still closed. Thank you, forum!

Online port checkers need not just an open port but also a service listening on that port to report it as open.- JosefCreationsAspirant
Okay so I figured that out, the port now reads open. However, I still cannot use the external IP to connect to a minecraft server, for example. Any ideas?
