Hello and Happy New Year!
I have an EX4100 with the latest OS5 and firmware.
I was wondering how can I access my NAS remotely with port forwarding without the mobile app.
I have an Asus AX88U router. I’m not an expert but I’m not a dummy either, it’s that I have a feeling I miss something.
On the WD EX4100 I go to Setting > Network > Scroll all the way down > Port Forward > Add profile > Customize a port.
- Service Name: I use EX4100 NAS (I know it’s optional, just so I know what it is)
- Protocol: TCP
- External port: 6500
- Internal port: 6500
I reboot the NAS at the end.
I also tried the preconfigured HTTPS of 8543/8543.
On the router I go to WAN > Virtual Server / Port Forwarding > Hit the Enable Port Forwarding button > Add profile
- Service Name: EX4100 (just so I know what it is)
- Protocol: Both (Tried TCP only too)
- External port: 6500
- Internal port: 6500
- Internal IP Address: I put the NAS static IP
- Source IP: I leave it blank as it is to allow specific IPs
I know that to access my router I need my Public IP and not the NAS. I follow these steps and still I can’t access it, it times out. Do I miss something?
Thanks in advance!
