Port forwarding?

I have an unit connected, having a web server and other TCP utilities. Set up with static IP 192.168.0.8. When addressing from inside the network, all is fine.
I am setting forwarding of both 80 and 9500 (80-80, 9500-9500), but when approaching from outside, the unit does not respond, like the ports are not forwarded?

    If local access works but external access doesn’t, double-check that your router’s NAT/port forwarding rules are correctly pointing to 192.168.0.8 and that your public IP is being used to test. Also ensure no ISP restrictions or firewall rules are blocking ports 80 and 9500. Some routers also require UPnP to be disabled or a DMZ exception. Try testing with a different external network or use a port checker tool to confirm exposure.

    If you want to do anything other that basic default settings, it's best to use your own router.

    Port forwarding is a simple operation that should work on a VM Hub, but for the small cost of a new router you will have total control of everything you need to do.

    Are you configuring the port forwards on a VM Hub in Router mode or on a 3rd Party Router ?

    Do the ports 80 and 9500 appear to be open or closed when probed from the public internet ?

      In router mode, it is a router, isn't it?
      Closed when probed.

    Use hub in modem mode and test that works then get a router with 1Gb ports that works.
