HOW TO FORWARD A PORT

Port Forward Staff

July 18, 2017 (Last Updated: July 31, 2021) | Reading Time: 1 minutes

A port forward is a way of making a computer on your home or business network
accessible to computers on the internet, even though they are behind a router.
It is commonly used in gaming, security camera setup, voice over ip, and
downloading files. After you have forwarded a port you are said to have an open
port.

The easiest way to forward a port is to use our Network Utilities suite of
tools.

> Port forwards are setup in your router. A summary of the steps to setup a port
> forward in your router are:
> 
>  1. Login to your router.
>  2. Navigate to your routers port forwarding section, also frequently called
>     virtual server.
>  3. Create the port forward entries in your router.
>  4. Test that your ports are forwarded correctly.

If you are trying to change your NAT Type be sure to read our NAT Types Defined
guide. This is the most comprehensive definition of gaming console NAT Types on
the internet. Most people get NAT Type Open by using Network Utilities.
