I've setup port forwarding with the correct IPv4
shows in the wifi.cox.com settings of the port forward section
but when i check my ports on canyouseeme.org
nothing is opening
i've restarted my computer / modem
reapplied the settings nothing happens
nothing is working and it seems they're trying to fish 10$ outta me to talk to the customer support whos gonna magically turn it on for me
this smells SUPER FISHY!
the entire industry that controls modems/firmware all took out port forwarding out of the gateway
literally wasn't broken now it is
how you break something that wasn't then offer 1 star service to fix the thing they broke and go o'well is mindblowing
I still wanna see the industry discussion or talk on why that was a good idea.
I get the same fishy vibe myself. I am setting up a Mine Craft server for my son and his friend in Florida and all I need to do is forward the port so they can play. I have been trying to apply the settings for a week and no dice. When I try to contact someone to help I get the same "You need to apply for our NEW support service". I think this COVID Sh!# has turned everyone in to money grubby B@$!3rs. COX is no exception. I am heading to Best Buy to buy a new modem/router so I can set this up myself without COX monitoring or controlling what I can or can not do in my own house!!!
