Cannot open port with Apple Airport router

Post by rosenstand »

Hi

Since I changed the router in my setup from an OpenWrt router to an Apple Airport Time Capsule, I can no longer get any incoming connections.

I have tried with automatic and manual port forwarding and neither works. I'm fairly sure this is a compatibility issue between Apple Airport and Transmission, as automatic forwarding used to work nicely with OpenWrt/miniupnpd. Firmware on the Airport is 7.7.9, but the problem was also present with 7.7.8. Transmission is running on a 2017 Macbook Pro with OS X 10.13.2.

Here's my log when disabling and re-enabling automatic port forwarding:

Any clues?
