Setting up NAT PAT with a ZTE router

Hello everyone,
As mentioned in the title, I would like to do NAT PAT with a ZTE router, specifically the ZXHN H268N model.
This router is provided by Orange to ADSL subscribers in Senegal.
I would like to make my Proxmox server accessible from the French public IP of the Senegalese connection. To do this, I want to set up NAT PAT, but I'm having trouble.
I've found a menu in the router interface called port forwarding, which seems to match what I'm trying to do, but among the parameters to enter, there is one I don't know! It's "WAN host IP range"
I tried putting zero everywhere, but it didn't work; then I entered 192.168.1.1 twice, but still nothing happened.
I’m attaching a screenshot so you can see better what I’m talking about:
If someone can guide me, ^^
For your information, the LAN host IP is, of course, the IP of my Proxmox server, and port 8006 is the port I need to access it through the web browser.
I forgot to mention, but of course the server works very well locally.
Thank you!

In the end, we managed to find the problem, so in the WAN IP menu, you need to enter the 8 zeros. But you have to set the router's firewall to low; otherwise, the router blocks all external IPs trying to query it...

Hi, if you don't know the local IP address of your (fixed) server, you won't get very far.

Leave the zeros then, something must be missing elsewhere...
You do have internet access with this router, right?
Is the Proxmox machine configured to only accept local addresses?
Also,
it's a kind of hypervisor; how are the servers in Proxmox connected to the physical machine?
NAT as well or bridge? Do they have a different address from the physical address?
Actually, do you want to access the hypervisor or a virtual server?
Both should have different addresses. -
And with 0.0.0.0 in both, it doesn't work, either?
Maybe 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 then.
Otherwise, you need to make sure that the redirection isn't getting stuck elsewhere or that you don't have a restriction upstream.
How is your ZTE "box" connected / to what?
Because it mentions "WAN" and an "Orange" connection in WAN, but WAN is in principle when you have another device before the router and bring internet via an Ethernet cable into a WAN port.

go to the tab internet>security>local service control> add a new service:
Name: Proxmox
Mode: Allow
Entry: Any WAN
IP address range: 0.0.0.0~0.0.0.0
Service Type: HTTP FTP TELNET HTTPS PING (check the desired service)
