Hello! I'm trying to configure a game server behind my Fortigate500d on version 6.4. The server is running web/smtp/imap and traffic is flowing correctly for those ports. However I'm seeing a weird pattern on my game port.
The traffic correctly hits the server via VIP and IPv4 policy that allows the traffic in. However, when sending the packets back out it is attempting to hit the PRIVATE IP of the source computer out on the internet. IE - it receives the traffic on port 26900 from a client trying to connect and forwards it to my game server. The server sends a reply but the Fortigate is then trying to hit the client computer via 192.168.10.3 instead of it's external IP address. Obviously, as this point the packet fails to reach its destination because it can't find the private IP address on the WAN.
I'm not sure if this is a server problem or a NAT translation problem on the firewall.
VIP Settings:
Name: Webserver
Interface: WAN
Type: Static NAT
External IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Internal IP: 10.1.10.27
optional filters: off
port forwarding: off
Inbound IPV4 Policy WAN > LAN
Name: INTO Webserver
Incoming Interface: WAN
Outgoing Interface: LAN
Source: All
Destination: Webserver (VIP)
Schedule: Always
Service: TCP/UDP-26900-26903
Action: Accept
Inspection Mode: Flow-Based
NAT: off
Outbound IPV4 Policy LAN > WAN
Name: OUTBOUND Webserver
Incoming Interface: LAN
Outgoing Interface: WAN
Source: Webserver (address object)
Destination: all
Schedule: always
Service: ALL
Action: Accept
NAT: on
IP Pool Configuration: Use outgoing interface address
preserve source port: off
Am I missing something that would cause it to try and reply to a private IP address instead of the client's external/NAT IP address over WAN?
Thanks for any insight you can give. Stay safe out there in these crazy times!
