Smart Hub 7 Plus Port Forwarding Issue

[jsviper77]

Hi All,

Another Issue with the Hub 7 Plus, probably on others too.

When i create a Port forwarding rule, it always comes up with an error and doesn't save or eventually when it does save, it has created duplicate rules. Try to remove one and it removes both, aaarrrgghh! These EE hub are very frustrating.

I hope someone who can help sees this and my other post, to help fix these issues.

When I get a second, I'll try setting up an FTP server on my SH35A but I've a sneaking feeling it will probably work as my other port forwarding rules seem OK...

Managed to get round to this and it's as I suspected...

Configured a forwarding rule for TCP port 21 and pointed it to a machine with an FTP server listening: -

Then used a laptop connected to the EE mobile network to try FTP'ing to the FTP server from the Internet: -

bob@penguin:~$ ftp bobpullen@[REDACTED]
Connected to [REDACTED].
220 Rebex FTP Server ready.
331 Password required for 'bobpullen'.
Password: 
230 User 'bobpullen' logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

So whatever the problem, I'm struggling to replicate it with my 7 Plus 🤔

@bobpullen : I can see your image but can't read the main text. All I can read is an innocuous local IP but for some reason it has been rejected. Does something need obscuring or has someone been trigger-happy?

@XRaySpeX - all it exposes is the local IP of the machine running my FTP server, which isn't sensitive 🤷

There's a big chunk of unrelated rules in the middle that I intentionally blurred out as I'd rather they weren't published.

OK, @bobpullen , I'm gonna override the rejection.
