Guest Zone access to public ports
ksx2015:
Hello everyone,
The configuration of my router (DIR-868L) has some LAN ports exposed to the internet.
This is working just fine and I can access the home server over the internet.
I also have enabled the Guest Zone, so I have 2 additional guest zones (2.4 and 5 GHz).
I have disabled the "Enable Routing Between Zones", so guest zone clients can't access the LAN resources.
However, the guest zone clients can't access the public LAN ports either.
To me this seems as an issue in the routing logic of the device as I would expect that the guest zone clients should be able to access the public resources without limitation.
example config:
router public ip: 62.21.12.12
LAN server: 192.168.1.5
virtual server: 12345 ->192.168.1.5:12345
guest zone client: 192.168.1.160
Expected results:
guest zone clients should NOT be able to connect to: 192.168.1.5:12345
guest zone clients SHOULD be able to connect to: 62.21.12.12:12345
Actual results:
guest zone clients can't access neither 192.168.1.5:12345 or 62.21.12.12:12345
I hope it is clear what I want to achieve. If needed I can explain further.
Is there some additional configuration that I have missed?
Should I do this in another way?
Please help!

If your trying to configure Virtual Server with Guest Zone clients, I don't believe that is a supported configuration. Guest Zone connections are handled similarly like DMZ, allows connected clients unlimited resource to the WAN side only. There should be no configuration of any LAN side settings for Guest Zone devices. The only feature would be to enable or disable the "Enable Routing Between Zones" if needed or not. Virtual Server handles connections from the WAN side to LAN side sources only. Does not include the Guest Zone.
What application or WAN side resources does this one client use? Please explain more about what the client can't get to...

As for the supported configuration or not:
Since some LAN ports are configured in the virtual server section, I would consider them as part of the internet.
If the guest client can't access them, then in effect they can't access part of the internet.
So, I would ask:
Why are the guest clients restricted from accessing some part (which just so happens resides on my LAN) of the internet?
So, even if it doesn't work at the moment, I can't see no justification that it must remain as is.
Instead, it seems to me that it should be changed.
As for the type of service that is exposed:
It is just a small thing I wrote related to WOL.
CHEERS !

Seems like your trying to configure something that is not supported on D-Link routers. Some routers don't handle WoL due to lookback support not featured on some model routers.
You can review this and see if any of it helps for WoL and your Virtual Server settings:

Guest zone only handles connected devices to the WAN side unless "Enable Routing Between Zones" is enabled then I presume that only allows network access to network folder shares and PCs on the LAN side when enabled, not any virtual server configurations or WoL. I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please. Good Luck.

Thank you for the reply.
However, I feel more input is needed from my side.
The configuration has several exposed servers and the WOL is just an example.
I would like to access anything available on the internet from my guest zone (even if it happens to reside on my LAN).
At the moment no virtual server can be accessed from guest zone.
The WOL setup is working just fine if I invoke it from other network (for example from my phone 4G).
I want to attach the scheme of my working WOL setup. But ... how?
CHEERS ! :)
