#NAT LOOPBACK ASUS ROUTER SIMULATOR#
I tired this, and it worked, so I was able to connect to my Open Simulator servers, albeit in a less than ideal manner. I then hit on the idea of trying to connect via a VPN, as this would emulate NAT Loopback, so my thinking went.

It didn't so basically I gave up running the Open Simulator server pending further invesigation. I hadn't changed settings, so in theory it should have worked.
#NAT LOOPBACK ASUS ROUTER PC#
Some months go I upgraded the firmware on the router, and thought nothing of it, and when I tried to connect to my Open SImulator server from another PC on my LAN it refused connection. After setting it up, all worked very smoothly, like a dream in fact, and performance was much better than with the Netgear WNR 2000 it replaced. Iptables -t nat -A zone_lan_prerouting -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.0.2/32 -p tcp -m tcp -dport 443 -m comment -comment "!fw3: Web server HTTPS (reflection)" -j DNAT -to-destination 192.168.3.I bought this router on the strength that it would accomodate NAT Loopback, which is a basic requirement for running an Open Simulator server (used for the creation of Second Life like virtual worlds). However since you have enabled for WAN->DMZ traffic, it works for incoming traffic from DMZ.
