Connect to WAN interface from Guest Wifi Network

Question

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 Jason Hawke , 
 We've moved this thread to the XG Firewall group from the UTM Firewall group as it&rsquo;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,

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.
