Make/Model of Modem/Router: Thomson TWG870UIR
Ubuntu 120.4 Server
Hello all,
Recently, I upgraded my internnet speed and received a new router/modem Thomson TWG870UIR. Since I've been having issue with my machine. I want to be able to view the server's webpage from a remote host, as I can when connected to the LAN it is hosted in.
When I type in the local IP address of the machine, I get the default apache2 webpage displayed, saying "It works!". However, when I tried entering my external IP, my web browser gave me a connection timeout error. I used my phone's data connection as well, in case my ISP is blocking loop-back requests. This gave the same error.
I port forwarded the server already, so this is not the issue. I then tried to fiddle with some of the other settings in my router's menu. I noticed that when I changed the DMZ Host's IP address to the local IP address of the server, the server was reachable from remote networks, until I rebooted. I have to click "apply" in the DMZ Host tab again to make it work, but I would have to do so every single time I rebooted the machine.
My home-server is only reachable from remote networks after I click "apply" in my router's DMZ Host settings, every time I reboot it.
I have use all the possible guides from https://portforward.com/thomson-alcatel/twg-870/ but the port 80 does not seem to be working...
How do I get my router to 'save' the DMZ settings, or how do I make sure the server stays reachable from the outside, without having to click "apply" every time I reboot?
Thanks in advance,
