Hello Community,

I have recently got a new interenet provider called TOOB. I had port forwarding on SKY which allowed me to host. I have tried setting port forwarding up on TOOB but im yet to be successful.

Ive attached a screenshot as to what I believe is the correct way to set up the port forwarding. If anyone else has TOOB and is able to help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

It looks like your issue might be that TOOB usually uses CGNat.

Quote:
At toob, your IPv4 address is part of CG-NAT by default. If you take our 18 month product, you can buy a static IPv4 which isn’t part of CG-NAT, or it’s included for free as part of the business broadband if you want it. This simple, whistle-stop guide to network addressing should help you to understand the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 and how a CG-NAT network can offset the IP balance in the interim.
This means you would usually need to pay for a static IP address from them to port forward properly.

Edit:

Additionally as pointed out by MarkC, you are on the single port forward page. So you would typically set the internal and external ports as the same. For example you might do separate rules for 50505 and 50507. There does appear to be a page to do port ranges though.
