Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2022 6:01 Post subject: DD-WRT not letting me create a public website?
some of my specifications: Netgear r7000 running dd-wrt v3.0-r44715 std
So, I have an unraid server running Nginx on which I'm trying to host a server. I have port forwarded the following ports:
443 -> 18443 with source net 0.0.0.0
80 -> 1880 with source net 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
1880 -> 1880 with source net 0.0.0.0/0
None of these are showing up on any network outside of my own. I also have a VPN running on that server's IP, but that hasn't caused any problems before. Please let me know if anybody has any ideas on making these available or if you need more information.

@zcraft11op Welcome to the forums.
And then the penny drops and you realize you are running a two year old build that not only has security issues unpatched but you also are running old OpenVPN code.

A nvram reset and reconfiguration from scratch + ctrl+f5 on browser to clear cache. Then we can talk about your issues.
Wow thanks for that, I've been looking forever for the newest firmware update. I did all of the things that you said as well as disabled my OpenVPN. I went onto canyouseeme.org and the ports still aren't showing up as punlic
Do you have any other tips?

Is your router reachable via the internet e.g. does it has a Public IP (and no CGNAT) ?
A lot of ISPs block inbound ports 80 and 443 unless you have a business account w/ them.
That's why you're sometimes better off avoiding self-hosting and using something like DigitalOcean, even if it costs you a few bucks. It also avoids some of the inherent risks of self-hosting.
My ISP allows for both ports 80 and 443, so I'd ideally like to get this set up before switching to a subscription-based payment.

Does your ISP block traffic?
Do you have SFE and or CTF enabled?
As a test enable remote administration with SSH and see if you can reach your router (normally we do not recommend remote administration as it is security risks so only do this as test) you have to disable the port forwarding
Hi there, thanks for the reply. My router has a public IP. I called my ISP and they allow for both ports 80 and 443. I also have SFE enabled.

Have you upgraded to a recent build?
Although SFE should be compatible (in recent builds), I would turn it off for testing.
Furthermore see my earlier advice:
