Port forwarding to access IIS

Calleman

Hi!

I have a little bit of a confusing moment. I have just changed ISP and have learned that they use NAT on a higher level for my connection and therefore I'm not able to access my IIS-server as I'm used to. After a little googeling I found a solution where they are suggesting to connect through a VPN to a router that doesn't have that problem.

I've managed to get it all going on the ASUS-router with OpenVPN. I can ping, remote desktop and browse resources both to/from client to/from server. But when I try to do a normal port forwarding of port 4431 -> 443 on destination 192.168.2.5 (which is on the client side) I don't get any results more that that the connection timed out. Port forwarding on the client router is set to 443 on 192.168.2.5.

So what I'm I missing?

Thanks!

Forgive me for a simplistic suggestion.
Are you sure your router is set up so that it receives requests at port 4431 and forwards to the port 443 of your destination IP?
