I have a problem with port forwarding on Watchguard.
What I want? I need to access from Internet via public IP on different port (lets say 9999) to a Remote Desktop on a PC which is on local network (win 10).
What I did?
- I created a SNAT policy, where I chose External (with certain IP address – my gateway-watchguard public IP),
- Internal IP Address – I set as a my WIN 10 on local network (10.10.0.1)
- I ticked internal port as 3389 (RDP)
then,
- I created a custom firewall policy with protocol TCP 9999
and I used it where I set FROM (as my public IP where my whole traffic goes in and out), and TO I set as SNAT(public IP->10.10.0.1:3389)
Now, as I belive, whole traffic which comes outside my local network on port 9999 should be forwarded to 10.10.0.1 on port 3389?
But it's not working. I tried to connect via Windows RDP -> publicIP:9999 and nothing.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

To achieve port forwarding on Watchguard you need to:
That means, that whole traffic which comes from external source on selected port will be redirected into your PC in local network on port 3389 (RDP).
Be sure that you are not blocking those ports.
