Port Forwarding Not Working mapped port greyed out?

Hi,

 

I am trying to forward my emby server port and have deleted/retried 5-6 times now.  I followed the guide here

 

https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/122976

 

but it will not open?

 

here are my setup screens, can anyone please help?

 

Thank you!

  • On Source you leave as It is (WAN).

    On Destination you put the WAN Port of XG, and on service leave only TCP/8096. (Emby doesn't use UDP/8096)

    Then on Forward to you leave as It is.

     

    Also, be careful putting Emby open to the entire internet, It's not safe. Also TCP/8096 on Emby is plain-text, consider using XG WAF with a valid certificate for this.

     

    Thanks,

  • Fantastic! all working, thank you!

     

    I have to ask though as this does not make sense to me, why would the destination be my wan port? I am sure it would have been the emby IP address?

     

    I really am green on all of this but learning fast! no idea what XG WAF is, I will research when I get everthing up and running, nearly there!

     

    Thanks again

  • Destination is the External IP the XG should listen on for the port you created/selected.  Since you need the XG to reply to the traffic. 

    The Protected server is the one server the Port should be forwarded to. 

     

    In other words Client-->XG WAN IP-address (destination) -->NAT happends here-->Server to access (protected server)
