Question

I feel the firewall settings in router is blocking it from sending out the messages from publisher device(controller) to subscriber(MQTT lens). The device(controller) is connected to the LAN port of the router.

I have added the files with rules that i have given in the firewall. Can you please check it and advise on corrections.

It would be great! if you guys can help out.

Hi,

By default, all traffic from your local LAN network is allowed to WAN (internet).

To forward traffic from WAN on port 1883 to your LAN device, please, try configuring the port forwarding rule as follows:

The internal IP address should be the IP address of your Publisher (controller).

If this does not work, please, disable other firewall rules that you created and try again.

If this does not help, please, download a troubleshoot file from System -> Administration -> Troubleshoot. Attach the file to your previous question by editing it.

Kind Regards,

Andzej
