I`ll just walk over to the corner of shame here - it was my
firewall (OPNsense) that was the problem. Starting with OPNSense 26.1 the old
Port Forward stuff was removed and now you configure a Destination NAT
and then you have to make sure you set the firewall rule setting in
that Destination NAT setting to "Pass". It doesn`t seem to help to
create the rule on the WAN interface manually, you have to do it when
you create the Destination NAT setting for that port.
Thanks all for patience and answers.
