For what it's worth this is in Canada with Videotron's Helix 2 modem/router.
I have the Helix set up in Bridge mode to give all routing to my tplink Deco M4 mesh network.
I'm trying to run a program/app called BubbleUPnP which essentially gives me secure access from outside my home to our home music and video server (Foobar).
I have set my router to open the appropriate ports but BubbleUPnP (and its dev) insists that if the ports are open, and Windows has those ports open on the firewall, that I should be getting access to my server. But something is stil blocking my access.
Can ANYone help me figure out what could be wrong? Things I can try? Questions I can answer to help me solve the problem?
(One tiny request: can we please not clog this with the comments about how this kind of access to my computer from outside leaves me exposed. Let's just park that debate to the side.)
Thank you!
