On our mesh, we need to forward ports from a node with Internet access to a remote node on the mesh for an Echolink implementation. The node with Internet access is a Rocket M2 with fw 3.16.1.0 (as is the remote node) and is advertised as a mesh gateway. Both nodes are candidates for fw upgrades, if necessary.
I have read associated posts regarding "Port Forwarding from WAN to LAN on remote node" and "custom firewall handling." Building the files is pretty straightforward (assuming these posts are for AREDN and not LinkSys only).
To what folder should these files be uploaded? The Forum post references "the directory "/etc/local/mesh-firewall"." But on the Rocket I don't see "/etc/local/mesh-firewall". I can't find any folder named "mesh-firewall."
What have I (Linux novice) overlooked?

Port forwarding WAN to remote LAN help needed

Here's a quick tutorial that I put together to show how to get to MeshChat over the WAN connection.

The node with Internet access is set to advertise as a gateway. As mentioned above, this node does not list the RPi in the port forwarding dropdown list.
Am I too far off base or is it that simple? Doesn't appear to be working, but I haven't checked the work previously done on the Internet router for the port forwarding.
Sorry.
I messaged you from the system. Drop me an email and I can help you out.
