Connect to WAN interface from Guest Wifi Network

I have created a Guest Wifi network on my XG UTM and placed it in a separate Zone and allowed ANY traffic to the WAN.  It works fine.  But I would like to be able to connect BACK to the WAN port for EXTERNAL access to certain port forwarded servers.  Currently, it just times out but I can access them from any other network.

I assume there is a rule of some kind that needs to be put into place, but I am VERY new to XG and can't figure out how to allow this zone access BACK to the WAN port.

    Hi ,

    We've moved this thread to the XG Firewall group from the UTM Firewall group as it’s better suited here. 

    Try to add the zone associated with the created wireless network as the source zone in the port forwarding(DNAT) rule along with the WAN. 

    Thanks,

  • Thank you Harsh, but I'm afraid I don't fully understand how to implement your suggestion.  Am I to create a new NAT rule but instead of port forwarding to a server, for example, I am forwarding from the WAN to a ZONE?  Could this be accomplished with the "wizard" or does that create too many NAT rules? 

    A little more information would really help me.

  • Sorry, I think I figured this out.  I don't need a new DNAT rule . . . I just need to add the GUEST ZONE as a source to the existing rule.  I could also add the LAN, or just pick ANY as the source.  Apparently, the Server Wizard just selects WAN by default when setting up a port forwarding rule making the assumption you won't need it if you are already behind the firewall.

    At least I think that's correct.

  • No, I was wrong.  I thought that fixed it by I still wasn't able to access the services on the WAN port by adding the Guest network to the WAN rule.  Still not working.
