Forwarded Ports Disappear
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2014 6:19 pm
Hey Guys -
I've been running Gargoyle 1.6.1 for about 3 months now on my Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H. I use it as my home's primary wireless router as it connects all clients to my Comcast business gateway.
I usually have about 20 ports forwarded - most of which have the same internal and external port.
A couple of days ago, I added a new port forward then clicked Save at the bottom of the page. Usually, applying the change takes about 30 seconds however it refreshed the page in a couple of seconds. I scrolled up and saw that the added port wasn't listed.
I restarted the router via the web interface to try again. After logging back in, I went to the port forward section and ALL of my port forward rules had been deleted! After another restart, they were still gone and I verified they were not working.
I went ahead and re-added them and they were working again. Thinking there may be a limit for how many ports may be forwarded, I only added half of what I had before. All was good again.
Today, I had to had a new port so went back in to add a port. I added it, saved it, and clicked Save. The page again refreshed in a couple of seconds and did not have the new rule added. This time, I edited one of the existing rules to the data I needed then clicked Save.
Again, the page refreshed 2 seconds later. This time, there was only one listed port forward - 3389 to my server. I guess it kept it as I was RDP'd in from offsite when doing it.
Any ideas what's going on or how to fix? Before re-adding the rules a couple of days ago, I did a 30-30-30, but guess it didn't help any. I'm signed in via SSH now to take a look but don't know what to really look for here.
Thanks!
