K0NSPIRACY Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Does DumaOS 3.0.179 have a firewall installed or do we always need to use the firewall on ISP modem? If there is one, is there any action needed to activate it or is it on by default? Also, is any additional configuration required or recommended for the DumaOS firewall if there is one?

Newfie Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 It’s firewall is on and there’s no user input for rules for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can disable the ISP router firewall without any risks? My thinking is we don’t need 2 firewalls if DumaOS already has one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve recently moved ISP to BT so have their Smarthub2, and as far as I’m aware there’s no option to put into a modem only mode unless it’s a combination of settings that I have to do in the admin panel.

Newfie Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I don’t think you can, does it allow DMZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a DMZ setting allowing for one IP to be entered so I used this for the R2 WAN IP, but this has changed itself several times now despite the IP being set to “always use this IP address” and increasing the lease time (was 24 hours but increased to 21 days).

Newfie Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Are you having double NAT issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K0NSPIRACY Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 1 hour ago, Newfie said: Are you having double NAT issues? Yeah I randomly started having Double NAT a few times last week and posted in the Double NAT thread about it. I was able to resolve it by checking/updating the WAN IP details in both the R2 and ISP router, and hard resetting the Xbox. Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2021 Glad you got your NAT issues resolved. As above, the R2 Firewall is active by default and no way to adjust it. You can disable the firewall on the hub as long as all devices are connected to the R2 so they're protected.

I’ve disabled the BT Smarthub2 firewall and all my devices are connected to R2. I’m hoping this may resolve some of the issues including the double NAT and XBL party chat. I noticed Teredo was previously in the BT Smarthub2 (think it captures automatically) and pretty sure it wasn’t in DumaOS however it has now appeared. Friends haven’t been online to test XBL party chat issue yet, so still playing without Geo Filter and QoS enabled for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I randomly got a new NAT issue last night...checked Network Settings as I usually do when powering on Xbox One and had moderate NAT with “UPNP not successful” message. UPNP was enabled on both the R2 and BT Smarthub2 so I completely disabled UPNP on the BT hub. I restarted all 3 devices and got an open NAT again. Is this the right thing to do or is disabling UPNP on the BT Smarthub2 likely to cause any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got an open NAT and you're getting games OK now, then that should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was working ok last night after I did those steps, but it was working fine prior to that too...like I say, it was just another completely random NAT issue and came out nowhere like the first time I got the double NAT issue.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 28, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 28, 2021 It would be better to disable UPnP on the hub just incase it tries to interact with the traffic so good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
