Port Forwarding | AIS Fibre THDDNS.net with ZXHN H298A Router

[simplelifetao]

Does anyone have experience of port forwarding using AIS Fibre's THDDNS.net service?
I'm trying to setup port forwarding to a home server, so I can receive data from the internet.

- I've created a THDDNS.net account
- Opened ports in THDDNS
- Set up port forwarding in my router

 

Yet when I run a check to see if the ports are open and accessible from internet, they are not available.

Perhaps I'm missing something?

I have the same setup but mine works perfectly.

perhaps you weren't able to put port forwarding in your router properly.

[simplelifetao]

I think this is correct isn't it?

[muratremix]

is your device listening at port 4468 or at port 80?

 

[simplelifetao]

My server uses ports 3398 and 80.
Since THDDNS doesn't allow choice of forwarded ports, I'll need to do an internal redirect on the server.

[simplelifetao]

But I figured, if the port forwarding is working already on port 4468, I should be able to test online and see that the port is not blocked. Test result times out

You need to set internal port to 80 then (lan host port) not same as input, then it will work.

Search on pantip and AIS and youtube...And, don't forget to re-start the router...this one did me in for the longest time, I'm ashamed to say.

Thanks very for the help. Am finally getting there.
I'll document what I discovered in case it helps anyone in the future.

>> Open the ports THDDNS.net. 
>> And forward ports on router.
>> Test that the ports are open with a tool like: https://www.networkappers.com/tools/open-port-checker

It seems my complication is secure vs non-secure access.
AIS's DNS domains are only accessible securely: https://DNSsitewhatever
Using http://DNSsitewhatever isn't possible. (If you test if the ports are open using http, then are blocked).

My local server was only configured for http access, not https. 
So I need to add that functionality.

Slowly getting there...

ais thddns does not force you to use https. 

your browser may force https before http requests.
