Remote Access trouble when using 1:1 NAT

What IP does http://my.channelsdvr.net/ resolve to?
Actually what domain that remaps to for you.

If you have enabled remote access, it resolves to your WAN IP (your home's external public IP).

I know that. The OP needs to set a firewall rule to route the client running channels through the other IP.

For those watching at home, this is bunch of posts about opening a port?

Using a tool could help - e.g. http://ismyportopen.com/
Or just search for "is my port open"

This tells me 8089 is open on the 1:1 IP address. Yet, the app tells me the server can’t be reached. I can still use the web ui though.

Is there another port that needs to be open?

Did you try the firewall rule i suggested? On pfsense in a 1:1 you have to have the private address/port opened on the wan int.

Yes, the rule is in place allowing all traffic for 8089 to the internal IP, I removed the rule that had the public IP in it.

This is what I have there:

Edit: almost after fixing this rule - it’s worked reliably all day!
