Port Forwarding

[nonpds]

I am using a new GT-AC5300 wireless router.

Port Forwarding is enabled

I have my internal IP and Port setup 3389, protocol is Both and source IP is blank.

It does not appear that the port is properly open as I cannot RDP my machine from external. I have also tried a third party tool that says it is not open. https://canyouseeme.org/

Why?

Wouldn't you want the firewall opened, for those ports, on you cable modem (i.e.before the router)?
