@ivannetta With what relevance to the specific and yes EE may not be able to answer regarding port forwarding. EE help guidance is there for that reason.

Hi @ivannetta.

Welcome to the community.

Thanks for sharing what worked for you. The link @JimM11 posted above includes helpful step‑by‑step instructions for setting up port forwarding on EE hubs.

Not sure why this would be required unless UPnP had automatically created a port forwarding rule that clashed with one you were trying to setup.

I have UPnP enabled and have no problem with port forwarding 🤔
