I can't get port forwarding to work for on my Verizon FIOS
router (ActionTec MI424-WR). Any tips or suggestions?
I have an openvpn server setup on a Suse 11.0 box behind the
Verizon router (192.168.1.0/24 net) as well as a Linksys
router to a 10.1.1.0/24 net. The Suse 11 box is on
192.168.1.44 with firewall set to pass the openvpn port.
If I set the Verizon router to DMZ 192.168.1.44,
connections to the openvpn server from the internet work.
However, instead of using DMZ I use port forwarding I cannot
make it work. I've found some www posts that indicate that
folk are having problems with port forwarding with this
router and there are some suggestions, e.g. UPnP enabled
can prevent manual port forwarding from working, but so far
the only thing that has worked is to DMZ to the server (in
fact one www post suggested just using a 2nd router after
the Verizon router and using DMZ between the Verizon router
and the 2nd router (such as Linksys running DD-WRT).
Since a good many SLUG'ers are using Verizon FIOS I thought
maybe someone has this issue sorted.
