How to open ports in a DD-WRT Router

[steve_togo]

Can some one please tell me how to open ports on the WAN side in a DD-WRT router, I am trying to do so I can use another ATA with a different MJ account outside my home network.

Port forwarding is not working in this case due to the fact the port that has to be opened is in the router itself and port forwarding only works for all other devices other than the router.

Thank You,
Steve

Someone please help me, I tried reading the documentation and i also tried to play IPTABLES using telnet. I read an article about using the inbuilt webserver of the router

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 5080 -j logaccept

Itried using the above command so that will help me open 5080 port but it is not working. Someone please tell me how to open a specific port on the WAN side and i would like to forward all the packets recvd on that port to the DD-WRT router itself.

I realize this post is rather old now but for those of you who stumble across it the proper syntax for opening port 5070 for mjproxy on a DD-WRT router is;

/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p udp --dport 5070 -j logaccept

Steve was close but he needed to open the UDP port not TCP. Also you will have to save the firewall on the commands page in the web gui to make this persistent.
