Port Forwarding With Loadbalancer

[ZaKzOuK]

Hello Everyone

Am looking for some help here to have qnap webdav ports forwarded in order to be able to access my maped network drives outside my local network
i have followed everystep i found on google searches with no luck

i have a qnap TS-431P with QTS 5.0.1.2034 with a static ip from the range 193.168.1.xxx

my network topology goes like this
2 ISP

1. 4g modem Alcatel HUB71 with static lan ip 193.168.3.xxx - DCHP off - UPNP off
2. ADSL TP-Link Modem Archer VR2100 with lan static ip 193.168.2.xxx - DCHP off - UPNP off
3. TP-Link TL-R480T+ loadbalancer with lan static ip 193.168.1.xxx - DCHP on - UPNP on

modems are connected to wan 1 and wan 2 in loadbalacer with static ips 193.168.2.xxx and 193.168.3.xxx
my loadbalancer is responsible of distributing ips to the whole office through its DHCP

i have setup myqnapcloud link and internet address and both have green check mark stating its functional so does the auto router configuration except web connectivity shows the red x check mark

am pretty sure its a portforwad issue, so i tried different type of configuration b4 i look up forums and end up here for some help understanding what do i have to do in order to solve this issue

i hope i made clear my problem, and all info needed, yet feel free to ask for more info as needed to be on the right track

what port is the webdav webserver located at? can you ping it? change the port to a non standard one such as 5005 for the http access and see if you can port forward that to the server from * scope LAN. if its on port 80, it may be conflicting with other services. also ,ake sure your gateways are set correctly and dns.

its a built in server in my qnap, in order to be able to remote map network drives. port is 5000 for http and 5001 for https
as i stated before, i tried different configurations to port forward with no luck
i don't know if because i am behind a modem and a loadbalancer or if there is something else

I'd avoid direct exposure and wrap your traffic in a VPN instead such as wireguard.

Traceroute your IP address internally? Id just remove most of that gear and use pfsense.

as a matter a fact, i am using softether vpn, but what am trying to do is to connect directly to the qnap drive without using a 3rd party, and maybe it will faster to connect and load then VPN

pfsense

Will the thind here is we are on a budget and cannot do that now

Its free.

Its free.

So would that work with 2 ISP's and a loadbalancer, plus a laptop with windows 11 that have 2 hyper-v vms ?

Download the ISO here, boot from it in a 2 Vcore, 3GB VM in HyperV that has 4 NICS (either virtual or physical (preferred)). You could LAG 2 NICS for LAN and ascribe 2 other NICS for the 2 WANs. Really not hard. From there, all your VPN, ipsec tunnel, dhcp, dns, ldap, ntp etc etc can be managed from one web interface. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/index.html#

VPN doesn't mean third party VPN. It'd be rolling an implementation like Wireguard or OpenVPN on your own network, and you'd use that to connect to the services you're trying to access remotely.
