Port Forwarding Section of the Router Tab
Normally, incoming traffic (from the Internet) is blocked. However, port forwarding lets you forward
incoming traffic to specific ports and devices (per their local IP address) on your network. For
example, you can configure port forwarding so that:
●
You can access your Remote Desktop from the Internet (by specifying the WAN [public] IP
address that the Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot is using).
●
Internet users can access a Web, FTP, or email server, or gaming or Internet application hosted
by your computer.
Note:
Port forwarding creates a security risk. When not required, port forwarding should be disabled.
Port forwarding does not apply to normal browsing, file downloading, running most online games or
other applications hosted on the Internet. (Some online games require port forwarding.)
Before you can use or configure port forwarding, you must enable it. See “Enabling Port
Forwarding” on page 110.
From the
Port Forwarding
section of the
Router
tab of the Advanced Settings window, you can:
●
Enable port forwarding for an application. See “Enabling Port Forwarding for an Application” on
page 110.
●
Remove an application from the port forwarding list. See “Disabling Port Forwarding for an
Application” on page 110.
