Port forwarding
Dana server fully supports port forwarding, i.e. the ability to control the device over the internet with minimal
configuration and no VPN requirements.
To enable port forwarding on Dana and control from the Web interface, 3 ports needs to be forwarded (80/2009/843)
such that any access from the WAN will be re-directed to the Dana server. We recommend setting up Dana to static
IP address to insure the server IP address does not change.
While every Router interface is different, here is a typical interface for a Dana server with a local IP 192.168.121.73.
Template Router configuration for Dana Server port forwarding
Note that you will need the Public IP provided by your Internet provider (on the Dana side) in order to access the
Dana server. Services of Dynamic DNS such as “DynDNS.org” can provide a free DNS name for your router and allow
you to access the unit remotely without knowing its IP address.
Note that port forwarding is a very common networking feature of the I.T industry that is very well documented online.
We therefore recommend that you perform a bit of research to know the basics of port forwarding setup if you feel
this section didn’t provide the information you needed.
