Port Forwards Behind Portal Only Work When Target Logs In
This is a side effect of how the portal operates. No traffic is allowed to reach a host behind the portal unless it has been authenticated or passed through the portal. If a port forward must always work to a device behind the portal, then it must be setup to bypass the portal with either a Pass-through MAC entry or an Allowed IP Address entry to allow traffic To the target.
