    Hello

    I purchased a WD My Cloud "drive" with software v04.05.00-315.

    I can't configure it to connect directly to the internet via the D-Link DIR-842 router (Hardware Version: B1; Firmware Version: 2.03MT).
    Despite configuring it according to the instructions on the manufacturer's website:
    https://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=14212#fw4x
    still in the "cloud access" section I get a prompt:
    "Connected (indirect connection established)
    Port forwarding was unable to establish a connection on port 8082 and port 8443. "

    In the attachment screenshots from the router configuration, because I suspect that the problem is on his side.

    I will be very grateful for any help or direct guidance.
    best regards
    Bartholomew

    Do you have a public IP address on the d-link WAN so that this port forwarding makes sense?

    Internet Connecta (Bielany Wrocławskie).
    in the attachment the speedtest result.

    I have a different address on WAN than I have seen so far, but I have no idea if it is public. I also attach a screenshot of the configuration.

    unfortunately the IP addresses from the 10.xxx pool are private addresses. You need to get a public IP address for devices to connect directly.

    It was not mentioned anywhere in the manual.

    Because by default, 99% of operators use public IP.

    Is there any other chance to configure this device?

    This has to be offered by the manufacturer of the drive itself as an intermediary service.

    Shouldn't port forwarding itself work even though there is no public IP address?

    And what will it give you - since such addressing is not available from the Internet.

    I got the public IP address and the device configured itself properly :)

    Thank you for your help and good advice :)

Topic summary

Bartholomew encountered issues connecting his WD My Cloud drive (v04.05.00-315) directly to the internet via a D-Link DIR-842 router. Despite following the manufacturer's configuration instructions, he received an error indicating an indirect connection due to port forwarding failures on ports 8082 and 8443. Responses from the forum highlighted the necessity of having a public IP address for successful port forwarding, as private IP addresses (10.xxx) would not allow direct connections. After obtaining a public IP address, Bartholomew successfully configured the device.
