How To Set Up a Port Forward

Setting up a port forward involves a few detailed network terms. Be prepared to write down a few notes as you go through the process.

There are 4 major steps to setting up a port forward.

A quick guide. (A more detailed guide is below)

  • :material-dns:{ .lg .middle } Assign a static IP address to your computer or devices

    This is needed to prevent the IP of your device changing and breaking the port forwarding rule.

  • :material-router-wireless:{ .lg .middle } Log in to your router

    This can normally be done by finding the Default Gateway IP, which can be found using ipconfig in a CLI to and entering this in on a web browser.

  • :material-lan-connect:{ .lg .middle } Forward ports to your computer

    Find the port forwarding section in your router menu. Most routers list the port forwarding section under Network, Advanced, or LAN.

  • :material-test-tube:{ .lg .middle } Test that your port is forwarded properly

    Use a tool such as ProbablyUp to test if the rule is working.
