Linksys 160nv3 Upgraded from 15396 openvpn small and all look good for now, I will still need to test the vpn tomorrow from the office and report of any issues.
Port forwarding looks good.
I noticed a change in the openvpn screen "Switch Server config" parameter, anyone knows what it is? _________________ Netgear R9000 main router

Sorry all...this problem has propagated into the 15825 build of K26 mega as well.
Just tested it on my RT-N16 - same issue...fall back to 15704 K26 Mega and all is well again with my port forwards to the ftp server.

The question is: what got changed between 15704 and this build to be causing issues in only *some* routers? _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

Yeah...unfortunately, I don't have time to test nightly builds right now to figure out which one. I believe someone said they did NOT see the problem with 15747...but did with 15778...so I when time permits...I'll get the nightly builds and try to figure out which one (by process of elimination) breaks the port forwarding....that might be later in the week though.
[EDIT]
Hmmm...I see there were only 2 Broadcom K26 builds available between the 15747 and the 15778 builds...I'll try the 15753 and 15776 to see if either work today...that will narrow it down as far as I can go with the nightly builds.

redhawk0,
I wish I knew more to be able to help. Not being one who knows how to create my own firmware, I know I'm not much assistance to anyone. What are the changes being made? Or what was the change that was made, especially between 15704 AND 15747, to the current builds?
I understand not everybody is having this issue, and I don't know why. I have a Linksys E3000, though that particular router doesn't seem to be having issues, and it does seem to be having issues.
Through my testing using nmap to scan for open ports, the port forwards are working, (at least recognized) but they are becoming filtered and unusable to the requests. On others, if anyone would be willing to test, what are their results? nmap -sS domain.tld (or public IP) is the easy way to test for some of the open ports within the first 1000. Since most of my open ports fall into this range, it gives me open in builds 15704 and 15747, but filters them in 15778.
What can we do?

That might be a way to figure it out, but that is not always the case. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

Aha! 15760 breaks loopback though port forwards should still be functional from the outside. I guess I still had a connection open on the WAN side when I was testing loopback... Anyways, this very simple/broad rule should fix loopback, put it in your firewall script on the admin->commands page.

phuzi0n, That fixed my port forwarding issues. I thank you very much and at least you figured out where it issue is/was. Only question that I have then, how can I ensure this stays open (working) when the router restarts?

Had already done that, I didn't know it would work upon restarts, but thank you much for the quick reply.

So what you are telling us is that this change was really only effecting people who were testing forwarding from inside their own LAN? _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

Yes, it should have only affected loopback. People need to respond with both external and internal testing results before and after using the fix though. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.
