Hi. I have been trying to set up port forwarding on my Homey Pro using a Eero Pro 6e. However I keep getting error. I would appreciate any guidance on this matter. I am attaching a screen grab from my homey app as well as my eero pro 6e port forwarding page. Thank you in advance. ![IMG_2712](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/e/be86883b5c7529ea01147b77115a0e26452e4b0e.png) ![IMG_2711](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/e/6e0a774ad3a2a24f87ee52adc5012bb4a0ac6738.jpeg) ---

Try configuring port forwarding in the Homey app on a mobile network and not your home (WiFi) network. ---

Thank you for your quick reply. Still no luck. Same error. Is there anything else you may suggest? ---

Triple checked that now. The screen grab I attached above is for the last step on the website you shared. Thank you. Any other suggestion, please? FYI I have restarted both homey and Eero and this did not fix it. ---

> [@aPubWithNoBeer](#): > > using a Eero Pro 6e. However I keep getting error. Does your provider support port forwarding? Or did they put you behind cgNat? Is above your provider modem/router ? Is the outside IP of the Eero Pro 6e a public accessible IP? ---

Had to do a bit of research. Never heard about cg nat. Just checked and I believe I am behind CG NAT. Am I right to say I will not be able to port forward? ---

When you’re behind cgnat, the IP doesn’t solely point to your internet connection, but also to one or more others. It should be possible to request a non-cgnat connection @ your internet provider to make it possible to reach your Homey from internet. Port forwarding is not recommended though: [https://community.homey.app/t/port-forwarding-and-security/108463](https://community.homey.app/t/port-forwarding-and-security/108463) Do you have a specific reason to enable it?
