Port Forwarding Persists After Deleting Entry/Reboot

I had ports 80 and 8080 forwarded to my file server that is static @ 192.168.1.51 for a brief time.    I removed the entries in my airport extreme.  It restarted and came up green.  The file server has a software firewall that was turned on over the weekend.   I received flags that inbound requests on 80 and 8080 were being rejected.  
Confused, I looked at the port forwarding settings in the airport extreme and the entries were gone.   I then power cycled the airport.   The inbound request alerts continued on 192.168.1.52  
If the port forwarding entry was removed, I wouldn't expect the server to see any more inbound requests.   This is confusing me.    Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jerold

I havent't had any responses so I am going to document my steps here.   Maybe someone else will benefit.
I ran shields up (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) to see if the ports were open and they all showed stealth except for port 21.   I did not have port 21 forwarded, but did at one time.   It acts like the airport extreme is not writing/updating the port forwarding table as it is changed.    Ports 80 and 8080 were stealth.    The file surver had upnp on, so I turned that off, but the airport still seems to pass incoming requests to the file server.   They are not responded to, but I get email alerts about the intrusion attempt.  
I thought the router was supposed to block these incoming requests.   Why would it be forwarding it to the internal ip and alerting the file server firewall?

  • WRV210 loses port forwarding settings after reboot

    Along with wireless problems that have already been documented about this device I am having problems with port forwarding where it will lose all its settings after losing its power.  I then try to go into the management for port forwarding and am not able to put the settings back in as every time I hit 'Save' it just loads the page back up with no settings applied.  Another strange thing is that the protocol comboboxes only have options for UDP or Both. 
    I then reapply the latest firmware and am able to enter the settings again.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm at my wits end with this one.
    Thanks,

  • RV082 port forwarding limited to 30 entries ?

    Hello,
    we use RV082 as main gateway and need to open/forward around 50 ports to inside. But during setting of the rules I got an error message "The max of Port Range Forwarding is 30 entries. You can't add any more.".
    In the online help is explicitely said "4. Click the Add to List button, and configure as many entries as you would like."
    How can we setup more than 30 port forwarding rules ?
    If it is this a sotfware bug, can this be corrected ?
    Regards,
    Petr Svoboda

    Petr, I agree with tekliu.  I use the UPnP rules with UPnP disabled for all of my port forwarding, unless a range is needed.  They should not cause any more exposure than regular Forwarding rules, and if you use port translation they will reduce your exposure.
    The only differences:
    Forwarding allows port ranges
    Forwarding has a "Port Triggering" section
    UPnP allows port translation (because it's only single port at a time, not a range)
    UPnP has unlimited entries

  • I need help changing settings (port forward?) after a physical server move

    Hi! I have a 10.6 server that I use at home. All is well and good there. The Airport Extreme assigns IP addresses for the network. I have www.mydomain.com that runs on the server -- I use it for testing web apps, etc. I use DynDNS with their client app that send the Comcast dynamic IP address back to DynDNS to keep the server on the grid.
    My friend has a 10.6 server. He has www.hisdomain.com as a home business. He also uses DynDNS in a similar way. His landlord just informed him that his apartment is going to be sold from underneath him and he has to move ASAP. It looks like he won't have a permanent place for a month or two, so I offered to let him keep his server at my place.
    We both run websites on port 443 and port 80.
    After attaching his server to my network, his domain name updates, but typing www.hisdomain.com into a browser lands me on www.mydomain.com. I guess that the problem is port forwarding... the router sends all 443 and 80 requests to my server.
    How do I configure this so that services for hisdomain.com are forwarded to his server while services for mydomain.com are forwarded to my server?

    Short answer: you can't, although there are a couple of ways to sort-of kluge it.
    Long answer: When your router gets an incoming connection, the only thing it has to go on is the IP address and port number (the domain name is sent much later, after TCP session with the server is established). So unless you have multiple public IP addresses (and a router that can handle them), or want to put the sites on different ports...
    Speaking of which, here's kluge #1: run his server on different ports (e.g. 81 and 444, or maybe 8080 and 8043) and set the router to forward them to his server. Problem: the user has to include the port number in the URL when they connect, or they'll get your server.
    Partial solution (and kluge #2): add a virtual site on your server, with the hostname www.hisdomain.com, go to its Aliases section, and add a rule in the URL Aliases & Redirects section, with these settings:
    Type: RedirectMatch
    Pattern: (.*)$
    Path: http://www.hisdomain.com:81$1
    Then build an SSL version that redirects to https://www.hisdomain.com:444$1. Problem: when the client connects, they'll get your SSL certificate instead of his (again, it happens before the client sends the domain name it's trying to reach), and get a cert error. No fix for this.
    Kluge #3: instead of making the virtual site redirect clients to his server, add a reverse proxy so your server'll transparently forward requests to his server, and proxy the replies. I haven't done this, but I think what you need to do is make a virtual site (as above), and under its Proxy tab (the one under the virtual site, not the one under the Settings section), check the Enable Reverse Proxy box, leave the Proxy Path as "/" and the Sticky Session Identifier field blank, and add a Balancer member with the Server URL "http://hisinternalipaddress" and a blank Route. Or something like that. Again, you could do the same for https as well, but you'll have the same certificate problem.

  • Sun directory db files continue to grow after deleting entries

    Hello,
    Sun-Java(tm)-System-Directory/6.3.1
    with
    * Messaging Server (64bit) 7u3 (7.3-11.01)
    * Comms DSsetup 6.4 (6.4-5.05)
    * Convergence 1u3 (1.0-10.01)
    I have to load a large quantity of entries ~59000 into the directory on a regualar basis for an AddressBook.
    This requires deleting the entire content using ldapdelete and then reloading.....
    I have noticed that the directory is getting bigger all the time... so I did "dsadm export" and I see the deleted entries still there....
    This is causing us a problem , since administrative commands e.g. "msuserpurge" timeout, since they are working on the same suffix ... (I just load the AddressBook into the suffix so that it appears in Convergence)... Every time I delete and reload the data I have to increase "dsconf set-server-prop look-through-limit:" up another 59000 or so...
    Any pointers would be welcomed, especially on how to completely remove the entries to keep the database small.....
    Cheers,
    Paul

    You can try the DB Compaction tool, though I'm not sure if 6.3.1 has it or you'd need to upgrade.
    Really, your Address Book should be in its own backend. Most Messaging deployments eventually put the address book on its own Directory servers. Access patterns and data characteristics for address book are totally different from the Message Store or MTA. It just doesn't scale the same way. You will not be able to tune a single directory instance to support all of these components optimally.
    Completely deleting and readding the same DNs is a terribly inefficient way to update your address book. If you have the PiServerDB in its own backend (which is, I believe, the way dssetup does things), you can simply reimport the DB. Otherwise you ought to be generating a diff file and applying that, rather than deleting and readding the bulk of the database. We had a thread {thread:id=2156737} about how to do this a while ago.

  • Port Forwarding Stops Working WRT400N

    Is anyone else having a problem with port forwarding on their WRT400N? I'm forwarding one service (https) and this stops working if it's not accessed after a 10 days or so. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot the router. I’m running the “latest" firmware, which is an oxymoron considering it's been over 12 MONTHS since Linksys updated the code... Which is appalling considering this appears to be their flagship wireless N router.

    I tried the hard reset and still the same problem, port forwarding stops after a period of time.   Sometimes 1 day, other times 10 days.  I have 2 servers on the local network, each running Remote Desktop on port 3389.  I have 2 ports forwarded to get to either server depending on the external port number.   E.g.:  The external port forward is {wan_ip_addr}:33389->{server 1}:3389 to get to server 1 and, {wan_ip_addr}:23389->{server 2}:3389 to get to server 2.  Works great when it works, but then, without error, just the port forwarding stops, and all other router functions seem to continue working.  Has anyone else come across this?  Any fixes?  Help!!!!
    Thanks in advance to any help!!

  • Port Forward: Conflicts with all of them.

    A bit about me: I am an IT professional 20+ years so I know how to port forward
    Situation:
    I had a Actiontec Gen1 router. A technician came out the other day and tried to resolve an upload speed issue. As a result, he replaced the ONT and the Router to a Gen2. He got it all up and running and left. My issue started 20 minutes after he left -- when I sat down to reestablish my port forwards.
    When I tryed creating my first port forward, I got a warning message about a conflict. I looked at the list and all I had were 3 preset entries:
    --Localhost                               TCP Any -> 4567
    --192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> Any
    --192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> 1
    Now, I have done port forwards a lot with my previous router so I was a bit taken back. I did a factory restore on the router and tried to create another port forward - still conflicts.
    I knew something was up so I called Verizon. A tech didn't get anywhere so they put me on the phone with Actiontec. They had me try to create a port forward and got the same results. They said the router was corrupt and to have Verizon send me another.
    I got the new router in today. While the tech was setting it up in the basement, I quickly tried to create a port forward on it and it worked. I was excited and waited for him to connected it to the WAN. Once he did his thing and established outside connectivity, I tried to create another port forward, and it failed. I asked him to give me back my original Gen1 router so I could use it to troubleshoot. He did with the rule that I call him when I was done.
    I got Verizon back on the line and they couldn't help. They then got me on the phone with Actiontec. A couple hours later, they still had no answer. One thing we found though was that they were also not able to connect remotely. They tried 443 and 8080 - nothing worked. I also found that I was able to create UDP port forwards - they worked fine but as soon as I tried any TCP ports, the always came back with a conflict.
    Actiontec said the issue was with Verizon and that I should work with them again, so I called Verizon.
    I got a great tech who was really going the extra mile instead of giving me the infamous "We don't support that". He too couldn't access the router remotely and we tried just about anything under the sun. For giggles, we decided to put my old Gen1 router back in place. He wanted to reset it to factory defaults so we did. I took a screen capture of my original port forwards though first. When we restored it, it was also stating that there is a conflict when I created a new port forward.
    I took a look at my screen capture of my original Gen1 router (this is the one that was originally working over the last year) and I noticed that its 192.168.1.100 entry was set to go to Application - UDP any -> 63146. After resetting it to factory default, Verizon is now setting it to the two setting I documented above.
    So now I am questioning Verizons settings that they are pushing down to the router.
    My next step was to disconnect it from the WAN completely, do a factory reset and see if I can create a port forward. After doing that test, I was able to create port forwards - TCP, UDP -- they all entered without a conflict. As soon as I connected the router to the WAN and Verizon pushed their settings, it broke again.
    The technician did all he could. It is Sunday today and the higher tier techs do not work on Sundays so he said he will have them contact me tomorrow. I sure hope they can resolve this!
    So this is the deal:
    -Go into your router and try to create a port forward. Pick anyone from the list that includes a TCP port. If you get a message stating there is a conflict, you are most likely in the same boat as I. I would bet anything that Verzion cannot access your router remotely too.
    -If you ARE able to create tcp port forwards, then I would highly suggest that you do not do a factory reset. When doing so, I would bet anything that you will no longer be able to create those forwards.
    -if you are able to port forward fine, do me a favor and tell me what your 192.168.1.100 port forwards are that Verizon throws in there. If I were to bet, I would bet that the ones that work are set for Application - UDP any -> 63146; If they don't work, I would bet that they are set to:
    --192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> Any
    --192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> 1
    Anyway, that is my story. I spent a whole weekend with Verizon and I am still not working. Any data from the community will be helpful. I want to know if this is a global issue or if it is only affecting me. I have had this happen with 3 routers, 1 gen1 and 2 gen2's.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Finally - a solution. *wipes brow*
    First off, I want to state that the networking group located in the Syracuse - all the other tech need to visit them for a week and learn:
    - How to talk to a customer (what to say and not to say)
    - How routers work, how they can be configured, and what they are capable of. Basically, learn a bit about networking.
    - Listen to the customer - they may know more than you.
    Anyway, thank you very much Syracuse Team!
    While working with the tech (this guy was awesome and actually listened to me about the automatic port forwards that were appearing from Verizon), he decided to to use the RJ45 network WAN connection in addition the COAX. My setup was setup to only use the COAX connection - it's been that way for over a year now.
    The tech turned set it up so that my data was going through the RJ45 and the TV was going through the COAX. When he did this and we reset the router to factory, the Verizon forwarded ports were no longer showing up and as a result, I was able to create ports at will without conflict.
    So beware all of you who are setup to only use the COAX connection. It appears that one of my set top boxes was now throwing in the port forwards that I noted in the original post and those were screwing everything up. Go figure that, eh? I wonder who said that some 14 tech hours ago?
    Anyway - if you are unable to create port forwards without a conflict error, call up Verizon and tell them the issue. If they act like they never heard this, tell them about my situation and that adding the RJ45 connection in addition the COAX is the solution. Just make sure you reset your router to factory when they are done or else those odd port forwards won't clear.
    Peace out and good luck!

  • Rv120w and simple port forwarding.

    Hi
    I just got a new rv120w and want to set it up, like my old router.
    I have a webserver that people around the world, should be able to visit, but I can't figure whats wrong.
    You can see my settings in port forwarding here.
    Can anyone help me out here ?
    Regards Steen

    Hi
    Thats a little strange :
    The access rule was created automatic.When I deleted it, the port forwarding also was deleted. I created the port forwarding again, the access rule came again (with the same settings as before) and now it is working from the internet.
    But not from the lan side.
    Hmmmm ?

  • Cant get port forwarding working, please help :(

    I bought an airport extreme yesterday, and since then ive been trying to get port forwarding to work. I've set it up before on other routers, and while its always been a hassle, this is the first time where I might just give up and take the router back. I've been searching the boards for solutions, and ive implemented several of them without success, and a call to apple's tech support got me nowhere. Im sure im just using the wrong number or setting somewhere, but I just cant seem to find it.
    One suggestion i read was to set up the routers connection to my modem manually, instead of through dhcp. When I switched from dhcp to manual, i noticed all the prior numbers except dns servers stayed entered, so i wrote down the ones from when it was set for dhcp and typed them in. My manual setup is:
    I.P.: 68.197.191.59
    subnet: 255.255.224.0
    router: 68.197.160.1
    dns: 167.206.245.68
    167.206.245.69
    every other setting i left on the default.
    the dhcp range is 10.0.1.2 - 200
    One entry recommended a static ip. I originally set one up with the dhcp reservation feature, but then another post said your ip should be outside the dhcp range. Not sure if either method is better, but ive set my system with the following static ip:
    i.p: 10.0.1.201
    subnet: 255.255.254.0 (i was unsure what to enter here, so i chose the same as the routers)
    gateway: 10.0.1.1
    in port forwarding i made an entry with 60000 for the 4 public/private tcp/udp and an ip of 10.0.1.201 (i have tried many other port numbers in the odd chance that the one i picked at random might have already been in use)
    I left every other setting on the defaults. The nat settings (a setting im not familier with) is current set for enabled with the default host box above it empty.
    I should mention, my pc is wired to the router. I am using utorrents port checking site, as well as canyouseeme.org. Neither can ever see my port, one simply says not open, the other says connection refused.
    I hope someone out there can help me with this, as the router is great with this one exception, and I'd rather not return it.

    For starters, it's probably not a bad idea to "factory reset" your device since it sounds like you've had a lot of people giving you different advice. This isn't to say that you've been given *bad advice* but, it may make things easier for a trouble-shooter if you start over from a "known" state.
    That said:
    You need to setup manual port mapping. The problem is, when somebody from the outside tries to access your computer, the Aiport (for lack of a better analogy) isn't expecting any visitors; so it turns them away. ---That matches what you are seeing from canyouseeme.org etc...
    Your error was when you "made an entry with 60000 for the 4 public/private tcp/udp and an ip of 10.0.1.201" Essentially all that will do is make a mapping for one port. Port "60,000" which to my knowledge, isn't used by anything.
    You have to tell the Airport specifically what "outside" ports (each and every one) that you want routed to what "inside" ip address.
    I use:
    Public TCP: 22,80,443,27900,13405
    Public UDP: 123,7777-7783, 13405,6881-6999
    Private IP Address: 10.0.1.201
    Private TCP: 22,80,443,27900,13405
    Private UDP: 123,7777-7783, 13405,6881-6999
    This enables: telnet, http, ssh, bittorrent and unreal tournament from the outside and routes ANY AND ALL TRAFFIC from those ports to my PC at 10.0.1.201 on the inside.
    If I ran AIM, or ICQ or one of those things, then you need to add the ports that that system uses to the list also.

  • Re: port forwarding bt hub 3 via homeplugs

    Hi I have set up portforwarding on my router and says open on my Xbox one but when I do online check it's says closed wich is giveing me lag on games like (fifa 14) I have tryed everything but there is 1 more thing I think may be causeing it I use homeplugs and they are connected through 1 main source I was wondering do you have to portforward the homeplugs and always use ip adress

    To this date, I've never seen a game which requires ports to be open.
    Let me explain briefly how port forwarding works:
    After defining a port-forwarding rule, this tells your router which device to send incoming packets on those port(s)
    You would only need to set up a rule if an external service needed to connect to an application via that port when there was no ongoing connection
    Games do not require ports to be forwarded because they open connections to the multiplayer servers/voice servers and all communication between the game and the external server is via that connection
    If a service required port forwarding, it would not 'lag' without it, it would simply not work. The data could not be passed to the service if it was a requirement.
    If you are indeed experiencing lag due to a poor internet connection to your Xbox, follow these steps:
    Restart your Home Hub and check if the connection improves
    Ensure your Homeplugs are not connected to extensions, they are connected to wall sockets
    Ensure the cable going between your Hub and the Homeplug is connected to the 'GBit' port on the Hub (should improve bandwidth)
    Remove any port forwarding rules you have made in an attempt to fix this issue
    If possible, try using a wireless connection or try wiring the Xbox directly to the router
    If the connection issues occur across multiple devices, please provide details.
    Thanks!

  • Port Forwarding, MI424WR

    I'm not even sure I'll give enough information here, because I don't really know what I'm talking about.  However, I've been working with a couple of "technical" people from my office.
    Essentially, I'm trying to connect two devices (Yamaha Disklavier Pianos) over my FIOS connection (for a process called Remote Lesson) and need to utilize port forwarding.  I've tried the instructions on the www.actiontec.com website (Basic Port Forwarding on the MI424WR Verion Fios Router), but have been unable to connect successfully.
    Basically, here's the two things I need to do (cut and pasted from a technical document draft).  Can someone please advise what might be going wrong?   I could also forward the entire "connection" document to someone who might want to take a look at it and get a clearer picture.
    At any rate, here are steps 2 and 3 of the process we're trying to do:
    2. Port Forwarding for Remote Lesson (WAN to LAN)                                    
    - Port 58092 is used in both TCP and UDP by default.                                      
            - Note: You can choose any port unless it has already used.                            
    - Please configure a system to forward the access of this port to Disklavier.    
    3. Release of the port to the Internet (LAN to WAN)                                      
    - If the access of port 58092 is filtered, please release this port in both TCP and UDP.                    
             Note: If your partner has configured another port number, please release that port in both TCP and UDP.      
                                                                  Port setting table
    PORT FORWARDING (WAN TO LAN):  IP Address (original LAN Address)
                                                                    Port Number (origin)
                                                                    Protocol:  Both TCP and UDP
    RELEASE OF THE PORT (LAN TO WAN): Port Number:  Destination or all
                                                                         Protocol:  Both TCP and UDP                  
    Thanks for being patient with a "newbie" - I hope someone can help.

    If you're only trying to connect the 2 devices within your local lan you do not need to do anything with port forwarding.  You would only need to add port forwarding rules if you are going to access the devices from remote sites.
    The below addresses step 2 of your question.
    Step 3 of your question is not needed as the actiontec does not block any port access from the LAN to the WAN
    Step 2  allowing wan to lan access
    If you are doing the latter then you would want to give the device fixed ip addresses, make sure they are out of the dhcp range of the actiontec router.
    Then go to firewall setting
    Select Port Forwarding tab
    Select New Entry
    add the IP address of the device in the Local Host field
    Make sure Forward to Port is set as Same as incoming Port
    Make sure Schedule is set as Always
    Under protocols Select User defined
    Make the service name whatever you want - e.g Piano
    Select new server ports
    Under protocols Select TCP
    Under source port select single
    enter 58092
    Make sure destination port saya Any
    Hit OK
    Select New server ports again and repeat the last five steps for protocol UDP
    then say OK
    Say OK to the Edit port Forwarding rule
    Now you should be able to access the device from the outside WAN

  • WRT54G Delete Port Forwarding Entries

    I have a WRT54G v5 with the latest firmware upgrade.
    While updating my network I decided to delete old entries from the port forwarding table. Every time I try to delete a port entry or the IP address the error checking routines warn me that a blank entry is out of range then replace it with the old entry. This error check does not depend on the Enable check.
    I CAN overwrite the old entries with new and things work OK but I would just like to delete old entries. I have searched the forums here and cannot seem to find anything related to this problem. This is probable trivial since disabling the entry works but I would just like to have the table cleared.
    I have NOT reset the router yet although I'm sure that would work.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Have you tried leaving the box with the number "0", instead of leaving it "blank", then save the settings?

  • Airport Extreme removes port forward settings every reboot

    I have set up various port forward settings on my Airport Extreme from OS X Server. However, every time I reboot the Airport, all port forward settings are lost except Contacts, Calendars, and DNS. It gets very troublesome to constantly readd all my settings in there. Port forwards are the only settings that are lost.
    Please help!

    I found the issue – and it's fairly simple and obviously really.  I'm guessing you were adding the ports from OS X Server in the order they are listed within Server.app (where they are listed in alphabetical order).  After Calendar, Contacts and DNS is "File Sharing".
    If this is enabled, whilst File Sharing is enabled on the AirPort Extreme, the port forwarding entry for File Sharing, and anything below is removed.
    Simply disable "File Sharing" from AirPort Utility before continuing (as recommended by Server.app when setting up the service for File Sharing).
    I understand you replaced your AE and no longer have the issue – I thought I'd leave the explanation should others encounter it.

  • FiOS Quantum Gateway - Edit Port Forwarding Entries

    New to FiOS. Installer provided the new Quantum Gateway. 
    Can't seem to figure out how to edit Port Forward entries on this gateway.  Seems I can only add or delete them.  But once created, no way to edit them to change. So to change anything, I have to delete the existing entry and recreate it.  Pain in the ARSE.
    Many other awefull interface usage issues on this gateway.  Definately a lot of room for improvement. 
    ...Also couldn't find anywhere to update firmware, so I'm guessing Verizon has no plans to ever release updates for this gateway...
    Can't Edit DHCP Address Reservations
    Can't Edit Port Foward assignments
    Can't Release Address Reservations
    Can't Convert DHCP Lease to a Reservation AND change the IP you'd like to assign (can convert to a reservation, but only using the IP dynamically assigned originally)
    Can't sort tables
    Sorting appears to always be based on MAC address, can't sort by IP or Name.
    Am I missing something?

    You don't mention what router it is you have.
    If it's the new Actiontec rev I you are quite correct - there is no apparent way to edit PF rules -  totally user unfriendly

  • How to get rid of grabage port forwarding entries

    Using a Westell 9100 router and am accumulating these garbage port forwarding entries - see attached jpg
    Appear so far to have 8 identical entries for each STB and as they are VZ entries I can't delete them.  I could reset the router and then re-add my specific entries but over time these STB entries keep accumulating.  Anyone know why they keep adding an is there any other way to get rid of them other than a reset to deafault?
