You say the firewall is more likely in the router, but have you checked whether or not you are running a firewall on your laptop?
I have never used the GUI, I only use the CLI for almost everything. Editing a config file is much easier for me than browsing through menus and lists of options with a mouse looking for the right thing.

A common firewall is ufw, which is the default firewall on Ubuntu and maybe Debian as well. When I used Debian (I've been running Devuan for a few years now instead) it didn't come with a firewall running as default, but I don't know if that could have changed after so long. You could try typing in the CLS "sudo ufw status" to check out for ufw.

OK, then. I've never used a 4G router, but with cable (fiber or DSL) you need to either set up port forwarding for incoming connections on single ports on the router to go to a certain local box, or set up a default server for all incoming connections on the router to go to that default server.
You could try to find out how to access your router configuration to check for either option. Cable routers you usually access them with a web browser pointing at its IP address (192.168.x.1, where x could be 0, or 1, or any other number depending on your local network configuration). You can find out your laptop IP on the CLI: "ip address", as well as your default router IP address: "sudo route".

Yes 4g router is very different and setting the ports on it is for myself beyond my skills- that's why I posted this post. For starters 4g routers do not provide a fixed IP address etc.
What I am looking for is someone who can look at the pic and description I posted and say if I have the SOCKS proxy ports set correctly or wrong.
