Re: Help request on firewall config

Thanks a lot for the quick answer.

I will go to VPN later on, but I need to get familiar with the ERL first.

 

I have one extra question:

 

How can I add a port forward rule from the gui (Forward-to address) if I don't have any fix destination address (in my LAN I'm using a DHCP client, and remote is a DDNS name) ?


The port forward wizard handles that -- essentially it creates rules that say "traffic coming in on $wan_interface to $port_number gets forwarded to $private_ip"

 

You've only got to worry about the private IP address and destination ports.

 

In the event that your NAS gets a DHCP-assigned address, you either have to set a DHCP reservation on your ER, or set a static IP directly on the NAS box (note, static IP should be set outside your DHCP range).
