Port forwarding not opening a port
Hello
I am trying to open a port for a server im wanting to run, I have opened up the port forwarding settings and entered all the details as shown on the picture below. Then i have checked to see if said port was open using sites like https://www.canyouseeme.org/ and https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ neither of them are able to find this port.
So i am wondering if i have set it up wrong or if anyone could help me open said port
Thanks in advance!

Probably, in a global sense. To what is your Orbi connected? The
fact that its LAN IP address subnet is "10.0.0.*" suggests that there's
a NAT router between your Orbi and your ISP, which would tend to make
port forwarding on your Orbi disfunctional, even when done correctly.
Presumably, if you look at the WAN/Internet IP address on the Orbi, it
will not match your external/public IP address.
For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:

Yours, I'd guess, is number 1.

I see no model number in that picture, only a firmware version. Is
the management interface on these things really that lame, or did you
hide it?
