Hello! I am trying to host dedicated game servers and would love to not have my actual IP exposed, I've read some guides and other topics with similar issues from what I am experiencing and neither of them seem to be the case for me. I currently have AirVPN on my Router (OpenWrt), I have port forwarded the ports on my router (using the external zone that is the tunnel instead of WAN- because I read that from "How to forward ports in DD-WRT & Tomato with iptables") Which assumes that I can't use the GUI to change the external zone from other than WAN. Yes- I have the port in the External + Internal port, its not shown in the screenshot but it is there. -- My firewall is allowing applications and services that I use to host the game server (in this case java/javaw) and I am using the IP the server detects (Its the public server IP [198.XXX.XXX.XXX] rather than client virtual IP [10.XXX.XXX.XXX]). I tried using the client virtual IP, but the software I use to host my minecraft server (MCSS) throws an error saying it wasn't able to bind to that port and suggests another server is using that port which is not the case on my end at least. When checking the ports to see if they are open, TCP gets a connection timed out (110). UDP is fine. I checked other forums/topics on this issue and I read through and tested their (potential) solutions and I have yet to get one that works for me. I am fully able to connect to other games and services just fine (as well as other minecraft servers), but when I try to host it, nothing seems to prevail. I believe this is as much info I can give on this- if there is anything I can do on my end to help troubleshoot this, please feel free to inform me and I'll try my best. Much appreciated in advance <3

Hello, I'm trying to forward a port and although i have the IPv4 working as expect, IPv6 says connection Timed out (110). Tried to remake the port and pick a different server but still got the same issue. I've opened up the port connection on the computer to accept incoming traffic from port 62025 but no luck so far. Any help would be grateful!

Like every day ill notice i stopped seeding and I check my port and see connection refused, and I have to create a new port in client area and give that new number to my bittorrent to get it to work again, I am using the linux eddie client on debian, I am using qbitorrent v 4.5.2, not using gluetun or any software of the sort, my firewall is not blocking it, i do NOT have UPnP enabled

I'm trying to accept incoming connections to port 12345 on my VPN connection tun0. Right now split tunneling is working correctly, sending all data from user vpn through tun0. I've configured the port in the Client Area but am not able to successfully accept connections. This is my OpenVPN up.sh file that runs after a successful connection is made. #! /bin/bash export INTERFACE="tun0" export NETIF="eno1" export VPNUSER="vpn" export LOCALIP="192.168.1.2" export LOCALSUB="192.168.1.0/24" # flushes all the iptables rules iptables -F -t nat iptables -F -t mangle iptables -F -t filter # setting default actions iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT ip6tables -P INPUT DROP ip6tables -P FORWARD DROP ip6tables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate INVALID -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT ! -s $LOCALIP -o $NETIF -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable # block outgoing mail iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT #SSH iptables -A INPUT -s $LOCALSUB -i $NETIF -p tcp -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED --dport 22 -j ACCEPT # mark packets from $VPNUSER iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -j CONNMARK --restore-mark iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT ! --dest $LOCALIP -m owner --uid-owner $VPNUSER -j MARK --set-mark 0x1 iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT --dest $LOCALIP -p udp --dport 53 -m owner --uid-owner $VPNUSER -j MARK --set-mark 0x1 iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT --dest $LOCALIP -p tcp --dport 53 -m owner --uid-owner $VPNUSER -j MARK --set-mark 0x1 iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT ! --src $LOCALIP -j MARK --set-mark 0x1 iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -j CONNMARK --save-mark # allow responses on VPN connection iptables -A INPUT -i $INTERFACE -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT # let $VPNUSER access lo and $INTERFACE iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -m owner --uid-owner $VPNUSER -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -m owner --uid-owner $VPNUSER -j ACCEPT # all packets on $INTERFACE needs to be masqueraded iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $INTERFACE -j MASQUERADE # allow forwarded ports on VPN connection (this part doesn't seem to work) iptables -A INPUT -i $INTERFACE -p tcp -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED --dport 12345 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i $INTERFACE -p udp -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED --dport 12345 -j ACCEPT # allow IPv4 forwarding echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # Start routing script /etc/openvpn/routing.sh exit 0 This is the output of iptables -S. -P INPUT DROP -P FORWARD DROP -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate INVALID -j DROP -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -i eno1 -p tcp -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i tun0 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i tun0 -p tcp -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -m tcp --dport 12345 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i tun0 -p udp -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -m udp --dport 12345 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT ! -s 192.168.1.2/32 -o eno1 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A OUTPUT -o lo -m owner --uid-owner 1001 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o tun0 -m owner --uid-owner 1001 -j ACCEPT

Hello, I'm having an issue where I cannot download torrents since I did port forwarding. I forwarded my port through the website because qBittorrent had a yellow "connection status." I set the port in qBittorrent, and now the "connection status" is green, but torrents are not downloading. I did this yesterday, and when I initially forwarded my port, it was working just fine, and today it's not. Also, I was able to run the "TCP Test" and got a green light yesterday. I ran it today, and it stays gray. Not sure what that means, but figured I should include that info. Any suggestions? Thank you, all
