Trying to set this up but getting a bit frustrated.Even with firewall off, and the port forwarding set up correctly (done it several times on other different setups) its still blocked. My service is running and accessible from LAN, but nothing outside can access it. Is EIR doing some kind of fuckery I don’t know about? Nothing helpful on their website.

EDIT: Just testing it by trying to ssh to my box on the LAN . I’m using a dynamic IP service from [dynu.com](https://dynu.com) . sshd is configured to allow access from anywhere. I get a ping response, but nmap shows no open ports.. Kinda weird. dynu has the correct IP. Doesn’t make any difference if I switch DMZ on or off on the router. No difference if I enable or disable IPv6

  5. Could be a double nat situation, I had that problem with virgin. Had to port the local ipv4 address through the ipv6 one, which they don’t have running through their nat. Could be the same deal with eir

  6. You have static ip?

    I’m with Virgin media now, but never had a problem port forwarding with Eir in the past.

  7. Depends on what you’re trying to do, but you could use something like a local tailscale instance, and then a cloud instance to get around it. Hosted on Oracle free tier.

  8. Depending what you’re trying to achieve a Cloudflare Argo tunnel is a great way of sidestepping this problem. It’s free! You’ll need to have a domain registered with them, but they’ll handle tls termination as well.

  9. if you’re not entering an IP address, but instead using a dropdown on the port forwarding screen, check the list to see if there’s 2 entries for your eth port. One will be the name of the computer, the other will be the mac address of the eth adapter. Use the mac address one. Should work then. If you’re entering an IP, then this is not the issue.
