Has anyone successfully configured this to work through Google Wifi hubs?
I switched to Google Wifi after my Apple Airport died after power outage..
You can't open ports directly on the Google Wifi hub - You can only open by machine. My Screenconnect runs locally on my main Mac, and if I open the ports 8040/41 for that machine via the google software, I can not connect via external connection.
I am able to connect ok locally.

It has been a long time since I've touched a Google router, but I seem to remember I had to enter the port forwards, click save/apply, and then restart the router before the forwards would work correctly. It does work though. My primary, self-hosted ScreenConnect server is sitting behind a Google Fiber router.

Thanks for the reply SoCo. It looks like Google Fibre you open ports directly ast the router level? (What I'm used to with all routers until now) WIth the Wifi hubs you can only open ports at the machine level, which I haven't experienced before - and I'm guessing this is why I'm having the issue getting connected externally.

No, what you are seeing is just Google's attempt at dumbing down the process. Rather than manually entering an IP address to forward traffic to, like you would on most routers, Google has you pick from the known device list. Same thing, just a different way of going about it. When you create a port forward to a device, you are also opening that port on the router's firewall.
Try creating individual forwards, one for each port, rather than the range.

Interesting - Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Originally Posted by: SoCo_Systems No, what you are seeing is just Google's attempt at dumbing down the process.
