Why doesn't Port Triggering work anymore?

[muffintastic]

Good morning folks!

Why has this feature stopped working within the WAN section? It used to work, I am running the latest build; .61 on a RT-AC68U.

I've had this problem before but with older firmware it has worked fine. I know I have the option to port forward, but I would like to use the Port Trigger, and yes I am aware I have the option of UPNP but I do not want that enabled.

Would there be a chance of a fix in the next release?

Works for me. I use it with IRC to dynamically forward port 113 (for identd).

Chain triggers (1 references)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination        
    4   208 TRIGGER    tcp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             tcp dpt:6697 TRIGGER type:out tcp match:6697 relate:113

Not sure what differs, it's not worked for a long time, only ever seemed to work in older firmwares, I've tried to use the SoulSeek ports, but still say their closed even with port triggering on, so unsure.

Update, after messing around, I figured out why it wouldn't work I forgot I had "Network Services Filter" enabled, disabled it and tested it and now it works.
