Selected Port not working - UPnP fails too

by BugMagnet on 2019/08/06 06:52:41 PM    
I set a specific static port in my fopnu config. (v1.34 on windows 7, wifi connection)

I had a rule for UDP port forwarding the fopnu port. I also had UPnP enabled in both fopnu and my modem/router firewall.  But I am seeing me with a different port online, the system default to 1024.

Maybe it's the heatwave that fried my brain. I can't see why this is happening.

I see some changes were made in v1.34 related to UPnP. But if I have a static port forwarding rule in the modem/router firewall to pass the fopnu port I selected I shouldn't even need UPnP right?.

I removed my firewall rule, to test UPnP without it. Both UPnP and NAT-PMP mapping fail.

The options I have for UPnP in my router are:
UPnP: ENABLE/disable
Advertisement time: 300 (seconds)
Advertisement Time to Live: 4 (hops)
IGD/NAT-T: ENABLE/disable

I turned the router firewall and DOS protection off completely. I made a rule to port-forward my fopnu UDP port. I am still using port 1024 after restarting fopnu.

The options for the router rule include:
Global port range: 12345 to 12345
and
Local base port: 12345

would that be right?


What am I missing?

What am I missing?

Oh.  Windows.

I rebooted the router...again. Then my computer. It seems rebooting the computer changed something and fopnu was then using the port I configured for it, not 1024.

I hadn't rebooted the system in weeks. Would not have even looked at the port until another user who was also having channel disconnect issues told me I was on port 1024. I had noticed he was also on a 10XX port on both his systems.

If we blame it on windows, maybe case solved.  dunno.

I noticed similar behavior.

I have port 49999 selected. It is open - I have verified the port is open not only in Tixati, but https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

When I then select this port for fopnu, the link above states the port is CLOSED.

Yes, the port is forwarded for UDP connections.
