Port Forward on Hub 3 modem mode

[MSHN]

Hi, I am using an eero router with a Hub 3 in modem mode. I have set port forwarding on the eero router for port 87 but this is showing as blocked when I test on https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

I need this port open to receive data on a solar energy app on my iPhone

Any idea how to get ports open - do VM block ports? Do I need a different hub? Any suggestions would be appreciated

If the Hub is in modem mode, it just passes through the data, domes not block ports. You need to look at the Eero, especially to see if there is any firewall rules.

it is unlikely you need port forwarding for this solar energy app on my iPhone

Hi, thank you for looking at this 

The tech support guys at MyEnergi tell me I need to enable port forward on Port 87

I have set this up and run a test using the above link you sent. Not sure if this port is open? See below

 Would you say 87 is open from the above?

some times the browser skips checking a ports so you may have to refresh the page for another pass but in this case the browser has blocked the port for checking

if you run CMD with 

curl bridgemode.bounceme.net:87/connectingout1to999.html

it should show the web page code by port 87

Thanks again for the quick reply. I have tried that URL (https://bridgemode.bounceme.net:87/connectingout1to999.html) in terminal (I'm on a mac) and get the response "no such file or directory". I'm probably misunderstanding your suggestion?

Also, I have tried a number of port forward tools and most show that ports are closed even those which I know must be open (e.g. port 25) to send email for example. I have tried in safari and firefox

The URL for that port will not work as the browser is blocking it so you have to use  curl in CMD
