Setting up port forwarding
To set up port forwarding, you’ll need to find out the Private IP address of the computer you’re directing traffic
to. In some setups, you’ll also need to figure out which Inbound port the traffic comes through, and possibly the
Private port, if these have been changed from the defaults. Budii Lite
®
will usually take care of the other details by
using the defaults.
Let’s consider an example:
Your computer (internal IP address 10.1.1.4) is running a web server. A computer somewhere on the Internet makes
requests to view the pages on your web server. These requests come in via Budii Lite’s external IP address on port
80 - for example, http://123.456.789.012:80. We’ll set things up so that Budii Lite
®
forwards any traffic for port 80
straight to your computer, the web server.
To set up port forwarding correctly:
1. From the Add application dropdown, select an application. For this example, choose HTTP.
2. Click Add. An entry is copied to the port forwarding table.
3. Adjust the WAN interface setting if you need to.
4. At Private IP address, enter the local IP address of the destination computer (the web server).
