Say your router’s IP address is 123.456.789.

Now the router can redirect any request sent to that specific port straight to your device without revealing its private IP address.

Once the ports are set, enter the local IP address of the device you want the port to connect to on your network (the local address will be different from your router’s IP address, since another one of your router’s jobs is to hide your devices’ individual IPs under the router’s public IP).

In most cases, the external and internal ports don’t actually have to match each other, as long as the external and internal devices know which ones to use.

Choose one configuration and enter internal and external port numbers (your best bet is to go over 1,000 and under 65,000).

There, you should see a list of empty port configurations.

Open the port forwarding settings panel.

You can do so by entering your router’s IP (or in other words, default gateway) into the address bar.

The specific instructions for port forwarding can be different for each router or brand, so here’s a general overview of what the process might look like: Here's more about how to find your port number.Īgain, it's worth noting that port forwarding will not work with NordVPN, and we don't encourage people to use this process.

Now, when a device sends a connection request to your router, it will automatically create a direct connection. You can do so by opening a port on your router and assigning it to a specific device. The remaining can be assigned to any device or program you want. About the first 1,000 are ordinarily dedicated to standard specific functions. It does this automatically, but if you want your home devices to connect to a remote device, you need to set up port forwarding. Your NAT firewall, which lives on your router, sends incoming connections to the devices that requested them, by extension also blocking unwanted incoming data.

You can think of it as a mix between a security guard and a mail sorter. To understand port forwarding you first need to understand what your router does.
