Monero on Tails OS - Connection Errors Download Node

I am trying to run the Monero wallet in Tails using the Guide to creating a Monero GUI wallet in Tails. I run the following iptables command from within the extracted Monero wallet:

sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 -m tcp --dport 18081 -j ACCEPT
[sudo] password for amnesia: 

But the command does't return anything. So I'm not sure if the port has been opened through Tails' firewall. I then run command.

DNS_PUBLIC=tcp torsocks ./monerod --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --no-igd --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --data-dir /media/amnesia/monero

The node begins to download.

I get a few errors.

But the node continues to download regardless. It always reaches 18% before I get this error.

If the problem is indeed this.

2020-04-03 18:18:57.415 W No incoming connections - check firewalls/routers allow port 18080

I dont understand because I have already opened port 18080 on my dlink router. Port Forwarding

And I've also tried using a virtual server on the router: Virtual Server

I'm not sure where the problem lies. Using the latest Tails OS and Monero Wallet. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
