What is port forwarding? How does port forwarding work? Answers to these questions will be explained in this video using a simple network that contains a computer and IP security camera.
Port forwarding is the process of configuring a router to make a computer or other network device that is connected to it accessible to other computers and network devices from outside of the local network. Port forwarding uses an IP address plus port number to route network requests to specific devices.
Generally, when you enable port forwarding for a device, you are turning on remote Internet access.
If you want to setup a network device to be accessed from remotely over the Internet, chances are that you need to setup port forwarding on your router to do so. This applies whether you want to enable remote Internet access for an IP camera, surveillance DVR, gaming server, or any other network device on a local area network.
What is port triggering? Port triggering dynamically opens an incoming port when a computer is using a specific outgoing port for a specific traffic type.
