Port Forwarding, why do some rules work and others not??

MattClinton

Hi,


I currently have a Watchguard XTM 22 series with no security bundles, just running in standard Firewall mode. Rules on that are dead easy to setup and just tend to just work.

Now the reason for me trying out other software is because I could do with some hardware that can handle higher throughput across subnets and of course, the ability to do forms of scanning and web filtering.

I was trying out pfSense, which worked okay but I still couldnt get Bacula to work through it (same issue I am having with Sophos XG). And Sophos caught my eye with all of it's filtering features.

I have found that all of my rules that go to things such as Plex and my Synology work fine, but when I set them up exactly the same to forward ports for Bacula - my backups just won't run.


Here is an image of my current rules, the IP in Source refers to my #Port 1 as I have a Dynamic IP. I have marked which ones work and which ones don't (even though some traffic hits BACULA-SD slightly). I have also tried these with Any Zone but that did not work.

Is anyone backing up remote servers with Bacula?

Any help is greately appreciated

    I have tried WAN as well as Any Host. Both to no avail.

    The internal IP address of my firewall is 192.168.8.254


    I am yet to introduce any additional subnets until I am sure the simplest of firewall rules work... I have not even touched on any form of detection or filtering yet as I want to get the crucial thing working before I decide to use this product full time at home - that being NAT.


    I don't understand how the rules for my Synology's Web UI and Gitlab work absolutely fine, whereas when it comes to doing the Bacula rules they just refuse to work.

    I know you say you haven't set any filtering, but in your default network rule, make sure that Malware Scanning all options are set to off, and under Policy for user Applications, all are set to NONE (not allow all)

    Then you can test the rule and know nothing is interfering.
