Port forwarding with Fritzbox 7530

[link to this post]

I have a Fritzbox 7530 on my Zen Full Fibre service

The allocated public 8 IP address comes with /29 prefix.

Can anybody point me to a user guide which shows me how to do port forwarding.

I have previously done such port forwarding on an 8 IP address ADSL connection, but can not see how to do it with the Fritzbox

It's referred to as port sharing on these routers

Have a look here https://en.avm.de/service/knowledge-base/dok/FRITZ-B...

Virgin (ADSL) => Namesco => Newnet => O2 => Plusnet => Zen => Newnet => Zen => Freeola => Vivaciti (using O2 Wholesale DSL) => Xilo (C&W Wholesale) => Xilo (O2 Wholesale) => Xilo (TT Wholesale due to O2 Wholesale closure) => Zen LLU =>> ZeN FTTP (Openreach 300 Mbps down, 47 Mbps up)
Router: Fritzbox 7530

Note: I don't lay turf for anyone. astro or otherwise, all views and opinions expressed are my own based on experience.

Thank you.

I should have emphasized that I am trying to do this with an 8 public IP address WAN subnet.

I have it working with a single public IP address, but am coming to the conclusion that this router does not support 8 public IP addresses.

That is a different model (7590, not 7530)

Amazon says it is suitable for Germany.

But, Thank You for the information. I am learning smile

The drop box with the "Fritz!Box 7590" gives all the model numbers to which the article applies. That includes the 7530!

Can't help you there I'm afraid, did have a /29 allocation from Zen for a bit a few years back but wasn't doing anything useful with it (requested it just to tinker) so surrendered it so it could be put to better use, considering the lack of IPv4 addresses now.

Good luck
