I have added another computer to the network, and that new machine is running several apps I'd like to access from outside the network. I've setup port forwarding fr all the ports I want to use, but only the default ports work (i.e. 22, 443, 9443, 80), but any other ports show as closed even though I've setup port forward rules for them. For example, I am running Plex on that machine, and set the port 32410 to be forwarded to it, but when I go to a port checker it shows as closed. This is true for several non-standard ports I've tried to setup. Also, I forwarded these ports a couple weeks ago so it's not a latency issue... I have no idea what to do to get these ports be open and forwarded.
Thanks for your help!

I came here to post about my Google Home app and how it keeps losing all the port forward rules I have, including the one for Plex and Overseer. FYI, on your issue. if you have DHCP reservations on those IPs, you need to remove them, then you can add your port forward rules and add back your reservations. That has been a bug that I reported over 3 years ago and they haven't done a dang thing about it. Getting ready to ditch these things for Ubiquiti. Google WiFi is great if you don't need to do any sort of advanced networking.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that out! And maybe I'll check out Ubiquiti too...
