open port on 50E

Hello to all, I recently took possession of this fantastic 50E firewall, we had it in the company where it was managed by more competent external people.

i tried to configure the ports as in every guide in the network also watching many videos, but nothing i can't get anything to work. being at home I don't have a corporate internet .. so I have a dynamic ip and a modem .. with the affected port open.

my firmware version is 6.2.5, I create a VIP with:

NAME:mywebserver

0.0.0.0 External IP (I also tried to put the IP of the modem to which I then connect externally 192.168.1.204 or my external IP)

192.168.0.106 Internal IP (my server web)

Wan1 For interface (modem internet) (i tried to put lan and any)

TCP PORT 8182

 

then I created an IPv4 rule:

 

Incoming Interface: Wan1

Out Interface : lan

Source: all

destination: "mywebserver" (I also tried to put all)

Schedules: Always

Service: ALL (I also tried to change the server ports by putting 443 and then selecting HTTPS)

Firewall NAT: ON (I also tried with OFF)

Security profile: All off (here I have a big problem I can not remove the ssl but I did not check the certificates)

 

ok, yes I tried in all ways without results, obviously the firewall is practically new without any changes .. I formatted it .. changed password connected to the modem and connected to the pc.

can someone help me? did i do the right procedure? before that i used another firewall and everything worked (it was from another brand)

    does your modem allow traffic from external to internal at all? often on home equipment you need port forwarding on them.

     

    how did you connect the firewall in your network? which ports in which networks?

    yes yes, then I connected the wan1 to the modem lan, then the modem gave me an ip address 192.168.1.204, if I type that ip connected with the cable to the modem and not to the firewall it gives me the fortigate page. here I have opened the ports on the modem as well, telling him to allow all traffic on 192.168.1.204 this thing works if I connect the server without going through the firewall. ok later I connect my pc to the firewall and type 192.168.0.99 and access the page .. I configure as per the internet guides .. on the ip 192.168.0.106 which is the server concerned ... but nothing works
