You can check a port forward rule is working using this site https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

There is a requirement for the device to be ready for connections for this test to give a positive result.

But, if you look at the Technical Event Log you will see an incoming connections for that port, the message will look something like

12:13:55, 08 Jan. FWL Port Forward Server(192.168.10.86) TCP 42150 accepted a new connection from 198.199.98.246
