![]() Below is a screenshot of the Edge Router X ( my personal favourite). When you found the correct page on your router you will add a new forwarding rule. ![]() Now it depends on your router brand where you can find this, but the most common places are: ![]() Ones logged in to your router you will need to find the port forwarding section. If none works, then look it up in the manual or on Google: If you didn’t change the password and don’t know it, you can try some of the following common combinations. Note Ip Address on the line Default gateway.In the run dialogue type cmd and press enter.To find your router you can lookup the gateway address on your computer. Or you can try to find an Ip Address that is not used, most of the time setting IP which ends with a number between the 200 and 250 is pretty safe. You can look up the DHCP scope in your router to see which range is used by the router. Next, you will need to specify an Ip Address. Change the Ip Address settings (or IPv4) from automatic DHCP mode to manual. To setup a static Ip Address you will need to go to the network settings page of your device. This way you port forwarding will only work until you turn it off. But when you turn the device off and on again it might get another Ip Address. This server is built-in your router and assigns the internal network devices an Ip Address. Sounds simple right? Setting up a static Ip Addressīy default, most network devices get an Ip Address from the DHCP server. We are going to give the computer, network device or game console to which you want to forward the port to a static Ip Address, next we are going to login into the router and forward the port to the network device. Now setting up Port Forwarding might seem complicated, but it really isn’t. In the forwarding rule, you would forward the traffic to another port number, simply 7080. With most routers, you can change the destination port, so this allows you to make camera 1 accessible on and camera 2 on. But if you forward this port to both camera’s it wouldn’t work. To access the camera from the internet you would need to connect to your public Ip Address, for example, 85.84.83.82 followed by the port number. So internally you can access camera 1 on Ip Address 192.168.0. Both camera only responds to a request over port 7080. Now let’s say you have two Unifi security camera’s that you want to access directly from over the internet. So we can send the traffic for our website that comes in over port 80 to our server that is listing on port 80 and the traffic for the PlayStation to the console itself. ![]() With Port Forwarding we can forward every port to the correct network device. Now every application uses there own port number, for example, webservers are accessible over port 80 and an Unifi Security Camera can be accessed over port 7080. But to connect to the internet all devices share one public IP Address (in the examples above it’s 85.84.83.82) that is supplied by your ISP. Making multiple devices accessibleĮvery network device in your network has it’s own IP Address. The PlayStation will handle the data further. But our firewall has no idea who needs that, so it will drop the package.īy setup a port forwarding rule in our router, we can tell the router to forward all data package that is sent through port 3074 to forward it to our game console. If our friends try to join our game, a package is sent through port 3074. Our friends need to be able to connect to our PlayStation for that.īy default, the firewall in the router will block all unknown incoming traffic. Let’s say we want to host a game on our PlayStation for example. The router/modem has a built-in firewall. This is commonly used for security camera’s, gaming, hosting a (web)server or making you NAS accessible from the internet. You only allow specific traffic (that comes through a port number) to travel into your network to the network device (or computer). With port forwarding, you can make a computer or other network device (the security camera for example) accessible from the internet. By opening and forwarding specific ports in your firewall you can safely run a web server or FTP server on your computer or host or join an online game. Otherwise, a hacker could gain easily access to your network. With port forwarding, we can tell the router where to forward the packets that are meant for your PS4 for example.īy default, our firewall will block all incoming traffic, which is good. Port Forwarding is used to allow external devices (PlayStation network for example) to connect to your internal devices (PS4).
