Hello Spyros,

That is very strange.  I have just tried what I think you are attempting 
do on my IPCop v2.1.9 here:

I defined a service for TCP on port 33443 and then created a port 
forwarding rule to accept connections for that service on one of my Red 
network aliases and then forward to a server in my Green network that is 
listening on port 443...  And it worked immediately :)

It might be worth trying with a fresh install of IPCop as there does 
seem to be something very strange happening with your current setup.

No worries. I am taking it offline in a couple of days and
will install a mikrotik router.

I find RouterBoard devices very useful for the networking tasks that 
IPCop can't handle.  But the learning curve is very much steeper :)

Thank you very much for your kind reply.

My pleasure.

I should also mention that Steffen Pöllot has very kindly emailed me to 
point out that a point in my earlier post was incorrect:

In contrast to the way that (as far as I can remember) IPCop v1.x used 
to work, version 2.x does in fact allow "tromboning".  So it is possible 
to test port forwards from a green-side client - one simply uses the 
relevant Red address and it all just works.

So I have learnt something new too - many thanks Steffen!

Regards,
