Predator Connect X5 - setting a game server with 5G network.

Tygrys

I want to enable access to my LAN from the internet. To test this, I set the DMZ on router to the IP of my compurer and run a web server on it. I can access the server from the LAN, but not from the internet (5G network only, no Ethernet). What am I missing?

Tygrys

Looks like my ISP is blocking incoming traffic on 5G network to protect clients from using their transfer by others accesing their servers. Seems ok.

Thank you from the answer, but the question was about accessing LAN from the internet through 5G/LTE network. Post you linked does not tell anything about that, it is about accessing the router itself.

Normally you handle that with port forwarding rather than a DMZ, but since you have the DMZ setup, do you have the appropriate ports open in the firewall on the DMZ computer?

Tygrys

I tried the port forwarding too, the same effect. As I wrote before, I can acces this computer/port from the internal LAN, so I think the firewall is setup corectly.

billsey

No, the internal LAN connections don't go through the firewall, or at least not in the same way, but anything from either WAN port does.

I was reffering to the firewall on the DMZ computer you asked. I can get to it from the LAN, but not from the WAN. What other settings then DMZ and port forwarding should I check (on the router)?
