SOLVED Router doesn't see jail IP

[itskando]

Someone mentioned forwarding ports on my router for a specific jail.

The jail has a static IP.
My router actively sees my freeNAS OS IP, and
the plex and transmission plugin IPs.
It does not see the openVPN jail IP.

Is there some jail parameter or service that is necessary to advertise the (openVPN) jail?

Were you able to resolve this?

Nope

(It's google wifi. I have a question opened up on Google Wifi's support forums and also on reddit's r/GoogleWifi)

[Resolution: The Google Wifi router is only able to see active devices.
By running the ping www.google.com command from within the jail
using iocage console <jailName>,
the device will actively transmit for a long enough duration that
the Google Wifi device sees it.]

After a while trying to be able to see the jail ip inside the google router, I decided to remove the jail and create a new one but with DHCP instead of static.
Then I reserved the jail ip in the DHCP IP Reservations on the router to avoid it to change automatically
Only then I could find it inside the port management and I was able to forwarding the ports.
