So I have purchased a Brume 3 and inserted it to my fibre ONT Box to serve as my DNS server etc. I setup critical devices with static IP’s and have for a few of them Port Forwarding, however not a single Port Forwarding is working. There is no VPN etc set up yet. When I try to ping my IP/port (every single one) I get not one to Connect. What am I doing wrong. Can’t see I have done anything wrong according to the online manuals.
So, first problem, you will (usually) only have 1 IP address on the WAN side of the Brume, assuming the Brume is now your router as its connected directly to the ONT. This means the rules as you have them are broken.
For example, lets say your WAN IP is 123.123.123.123. This IP can only have ports 1-65535 used one time. So if something on the internet side connects to your IP 123.123.123.123 on port 9001, the router can only forwarded that port to one internal device.
In your example, you have forwarded all ports 1-65535 towards 10.0.0.81 in the first rule. None of the following rules will work. You can’t forward 9001 to 10.0.0.168 because 9001 is between 1 and 65535 which is used in your first rule towards 10.0.0.81.
Next, when you say ‘ping the port it doesnt respond’ what do you mean? You can’t ping a port, only an IP, and ping will not forwards over a port. Port forwards are for TCP/UDP and Ping is ICMP so a different protocol which you can’t port forward in this way.

You are 100% correct. I changed the priority and bang, everything works.
I have changed my Deeep device to the normal single port and hopefully we are up and running.
And for the test, I was using: canyouseeme.org. And again you are 100% correct.
I am usually pretty DNS/IP/Port savy, bug just had what we call a Brain Fart in English!
