I am trying to forward 2 ports to a raspberrypi on the Huawei HG659. I set up the first one OK...

 

Mapping name raspberrypi

 

Application      Webserver

 

Internal host   raspberrypi_Ethernet

 

 

 

but when I try to forward the SSH port

 

Mapping name raspberrypi

 

Application      SecureShellServer

 

Internal host raspberrypi_Ethernet

 

 

 

and go to save it I get the error message "The name of the port mapping is invalid"

 

I am a real noobie on this subject, appreciate any help.

 

 





 I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

Unless if you know what you're doing and how to secure Linux then do not port forward SSH or any other services to it. This will be bombarded with brute-force attempts as soon as it is made live and if an exploit exists anywhere then you'll get pwned as a result.

 

If you're wanting to expose something that only you'll be using then perhaps set up http://www.pivpn.io/ on your Pi and port-forward OpenVPN. It'll be a lot more secure and still allow for remote access for the times you need it.
