Port Triggering
Port triggering is a way to automate port forwarding with outbound traffic on predetermined ports
(‘triggering ports’), incoming ports are dynamically forwarded to the initiating host, while the outbound
ports are in use. Port triggering triggers can open an incoming port when a client on the local network
makes an outgoing connection on a predetermined port or a range of ports.
