Good afternooon everyone.
I needed opening port 8123 on my RT-AX86U. I did in the way I already have more than a dozen open ports, which I learned from @ZebMcKayhan , (Thanks mate!).
The thing is:
The port shows as open on https://www.connected.app/port-checker, as seen on image:
Also, the counters are not zero on my iptables command:
So, the thing works at the beginning. But, after a while (I don't know how much time is, several minutes), the port appears to close magically and the only thing that solve the issue is restarting the firewall, as follows:
So, for making this change permanent, the only thing I could thought of was creating a cron job, so I didn't need to lauch the command every so and then, in order to make my Home Assistant accesible to the mobile app (it is called companion).
My question is: Is there any other way to achieve this connectivity from the mobile app to the server which avoid this constant restarting of the firewall? I don't believe this is a normal behaviour.
Thanks in advance.

Done.
