Port Forwarding
Port forwarding allows you to run a publicly accessible server on your home network by
specifying the mapping of TCP/UDP ports to a local computer. This enables incoming requests
on specific port numbers to reach web servers, FTP servers, mail servers, etc. so that they can
be accessible from the Internet.
To map a port, you must enter the range of port numbers that want forwarded locally and the IP
address to which traffic to those ports should be sent. If you only want a single port
specification, enter the same port number in the start and end locations for that IP address.
A table of commonly used port numbers is also displayed on the page for your convenience.
These are some of the ports used by common applications.
