How the heck does OpenWRT port forwarding work? Cause I can't get mine to work at all? Not from LuCi at least, and I have even less of an idea how to do any from SSH 💀

I'm trying to set up a Synergy (Half-Life 2 co-op) server to play on with my partner but no matter what I do I can't seem to be able to open the goddamn port 😭

Does anyone know how to get this working? Please? 🥺

Edit: ok so, I think part of it was cause I hadn't set an internal IP to route *to* and just left it on "any", but after I did that I'm just getting "no route to host" 😭

@hazelnot have you forwarded it with TCP and UDP on both ingoing and outgoing ports? I can't remember LuCI webui off the top of my head, but you may have to put it into like 4 places, depending.

@thufie I did :(

Even added it to traffic rules (before I was just getting something like "host not found"), but checking with canyouseeme.org I'm still getting "Connection refused"

I opened the ports in my PC's firewall too
