Hey all,

I've been supplied the TP Link EX230v V1 router with my fibre service and I can't for the life of me get the port forwarding working

I'm trying to run a webserver on the usual port 80, but I can't access the server that's setup, despite the proper port being forwarded.

I've verified a dozen times everything is ok on my end, I can reach it via the lan, just not through the internet.

I saw another post by someone in the uK who was also having this trouble, so i wonder if it's a known issue with these routers.

Open port check services shows the port closed, as with other ports like FTP/https, even when the ports were added to the virtual server page.

I've tried this on two computers now, one running Windows server, the other, AlmaLinux
