RAX30 403 Forbidden

Firmware Version V1.0.10.94_3

I replaced a LINKSYS router with the Nighthawk RAC30.  I have several systems connected to the Nighthawk: Windows 10, Windows 11, 2 Linux systems, Android.  They seem to function normally.

The LINUX UBUNTU system attached is running both Apache and Postfix.  Postfix seems to be functioning normally but when I try to access the web server (URL is www.tri-stateconcerts.com) I receive a 403 Forbidden.  I am using port forwarding to access the server - the configuration is the same as I had on the LINKSYS router.

I have searched for a solution but none of the existing solutions have fixed the issue.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • That's a server problem, not router. 403 is a permission issue somewhere in your htdocs or configuration. The server is reachable over the net, just reports a 403

      That is what I thought though I have not found the issue. 

      The question is why did it work with the previous LINKSYS router?  That only thing that changed was the router.

        Additional information

        The router is sending its internal, self-signed, SSL certificate instead of the web site certificate.
