Port forwarding for Duo streaming on the internet to Android
Hi
I am fairly proficient in IT generally, having worked in support for almost 30 years, but I have an issue that is giving me some problems.
I have forwarded port 80 on my router / Duo, and subsequently can stream via HTTP on pc's outside of my network without issue.
The problem comes when using ES File Explorer on my phone / tablet.
ES just won't even display a file list, let along stream. ES will do all of this ok within my network.
So, as an experiment, I temporarily put the duo into the DMZ - problem resolved, but security wise - not a great idea!
I think this proves beyond reasonable doubt that a port needs to be forwarded - but which one is the question :shock:
I have tried 8080 and 8200 - but no joy.
Any suggestions please, my fellow NAS-ers?
Thanks in advance......

- StephenBGuru - Experienced UserI use FTPS as the protocol with ES File Explorer. What protocol are you using?
