    Port Forwarding


    Need to open up ports for an upcoming project (HTTPs, SSH, and RDP). I've added all these services in the "port forwarding" section of my network settings. However when scanning with netstat, I cannot find these ports enabled. Pinging directly with telnet I get a failed connection message.

    My ISP (Cox) does not have these ports listed as blocked.

    I have tried to connect via my laptop using RDP as a test, and as expected it says the server is unavailable. Is this a windows firewall issue maybe? I have checked the firewall logs for dropped connections in pfirewall but there is nothing there.

    Windows 10 v.1903

    Help with port forwarding!

    Just for clarification: Port forwarding takes a packet that is addressed to your external (public) IP address and forwards if to an internal (private) IP address


    First step:

    Go to What's My IP Address? Networking Tools & More

    Your External (public) IP address will be shown at the top of the page.

    This is the IP address that other users on the internet will use to connect to you.

    Second step:

    Find your Internal (private) IP address.

    This is the IP address of the Ethernet card in your PC

    This IP address MUST be in one of the following ranges to be guarenteed to work:

    10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
    172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
    192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

    Third step:

    Open up the admin application for your router and look for port forwarding/private servers option.

    The screen will have a source port number (tcp and udp) and will also have a destination IP address and port.

    Example:

    Your PC has a private IP of 192.168.0.2 and your run a game server that uses ports 2345 and 8977

    In admin screen source ports will be 2345 and 8977 (an entry for each port will be needed)

    Destination will be 192.168.0.2 port 2345 and 192.168.0.2 port 8977

    How to configure Port Forwarding?


    HI,

    My router gets different IP addresses. Dynamic DNS is enabled.

    I have to configure port forwarding in my router. While configuring port forwarding, I need to fill following details:

    • Internal IP
    • Internal Port
    • Remote IP
    • External Port
    • Protocol (TCP/UDP)

    Please guide me to configure Port Forwarding in my router.

    Regards
    UGN
