Port forwarding redirects communication from one address/port number to another to make services on a
protected network available to hosts on an external network.
1. Log into the router, and proceed with port forwarding. Port forwarding steps differ by router. For
port forwarding assistance, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or router manufacturer.
