I set up my wireguard brume 2 server behind the netgear home router what ports to open for router to pass to brume wireguard server?

Hello,

Is Brume 2 connected to the Primary router (Netgear) via WAN?
WG server, that Brume 2 does not need to configure port forwarding, just enable WG server and check the server working port (default is 51820)
Make sure that the Primary router has public IP?
Turn on port forwarding in the Primary router, and configure the Brume 2 IP + Port (51820 -> 51820) to turn on forwarding

What Protocol TCP/UDP right? Also says..........

External port range:	(1~65534)
(Specify ports and/or port ranges separated by commas. Example: 30, 50-60, 65500-65510)

Internal Port Range	(1~65534)
(Specify ports and/or port ranges separated by commas. Example: 30, 50-60, 65500-65510)
Internal IP address	. . .
	Or select from currently attached devices

Does the Service Name Matter ? It's set to FTP

If you only want to allow WireGuard, you only need to forward 51820 UDP. Although some manuals recommend using both UDP and TCP.

Thanks Bruce, you nailed it. I forward 51820 UDP/TCP & selected the Brume 2 from the list of devices attached to nighthawk router WORKED!!!

Thanks for your updates.

If you don't need to access the resource of home router (Nighthawk) on an external network, you don't need to enable remote LAN access and VPN Cascading.
