        I don't know, right now I'm not even sure what mapping you want. I'm 99% sure that we now know what the issue is, because this has to be very explicit or it can't work. So that it's not been shown, there isn't any port open yet.

        So let's start with defining the desired state. OC is on 8080 internally. What port do you want it on on the outside?

          To simplify things, I'd recommend making it 8080 on the outside as well.

              I'm not sure what your goal is, so I'm unable to really answer for you.

              You should ideally never play around with low numbered ports. Either use them as they are supposed to be used or avoid them.

              Why do you not want to use 8080? 8080 is as standard as a non-standard port gets.

                1. I hate SonicWall with a passion.
                2. Have you followed the manufacturers instructions?

                  Agreed, one of the worst firewalls on the market.

                    At least to get started, use port 8080 in both places. Unless port 8080 is already used on your outside interface.

                      @scottalanmiller I can use 8080. I dont know how to open that port on the SW.

                        Well that's the first task 🙂 If you've not gotten around to opening the firewall yet, it shouldn't be surprising that it isn't open yet.

                        Did you look at the instructions like that Jared sent? It looks like it steps you through the process.

                          Yes. In one of the screenshots it lists a Source Port field. I dont have that field. In another screenshot I see Create a reflexive policy. I dont have that either.

                            You mean those options just don't exist? Argh, SonicWall sucks SO much!!!

                                Ugh, is your firmware up to date?

                                  @alex.olynyk What is your Sonicwall model? Your snapshot wizard looks different from the NSA series if am not mistaken. If its a low end version like TZ series, try this and setup using the rule wizard.

                                    Ah, good catch. I've not used a SW in a good long while, thankfully. We always just tell clients to pull and toss 'em. One of the few pieces of gear that is well worth just replacing. Cheaper to replace than to support.

                                        And that is all the review I need, dang, staying away.

                                          @alex.olynyk Thats strange, then you might not be running sonicOS enhanced. I've used Sonicwall NSA 5 years ago, so might not be up to date! 🙂

                                          Did you check the rules wizard by the way?

                                            The same sonicwall I've.

                                            First update the firmware, last version is:

                                            5.9.1.5-16o Jan 04, 2016
