SR203 Port forwarding - OpenVPN

[MarioMushroom]

Hello All, 

I've noticed that all of sudden port forwarding has stopped on my SR203.

This is an issue for me as I need remote access to my server via OpenVPN.

The settings are in the screenshot below:

Can anyone advise if this is a user issue or a router issue. I'm heading to another country soon and need to have remote access to my server.

For starters have you switched your router off for 20mins to fetch a new public IP?

Hi @jamesn123 

I have not. I'll give that a go and see if it helps.

Turned the router off for 30mins.

I've checked it's a new public IP and still port forwarding is not working.

Is there anything else I can try?

I spun up a test webserver and tested the pre-build service rule for port 80 and still this is not working.

Hi @jamesn123 

Thank you for you help. Turns out the issue was on the VPN server itself. I had an incorrect netmask.

Port forwarding is working and I can access my serevr remotely using the VPN again.
