I'm utterly at my wits end, been trying to sort this for hours.
I have a raspberry pi running an Nginx webserver. I want to use Dynamic DNS and port forwarding to be able to easily access a few services running on the Pi easily.
Dynamic DNS is working great. With it set up I can access my routers settings remotely, suggesting I do have my own public IP rather than shared, which seems to be issue number 1 with this.
BUT port forwarding isn't working at all. I've tried "Virtual Server" settings, "Special Applications" and adding the Raspberry Pi's IP to the DMZ, turning the firewall off completely doesn't help either. SSH, HTTP, ftp. None of it works, and I always get a "connection refused" message. Nothing appears in the router's logs, and no traffic even seems to be getting to the Pi.
I've read that mobile broadband providers often block port forwarding to avoid people hosting on their services? Is there any truth to this.
I'm tearing my hair out over this. It shouldn't be this bloody complicated.
edit: I forgot to mention, using canyouseeme.org I can see the relevant ports are open. And that they are in fact closed when I remove them from the Virtual Server list.
