Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.

In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.1.1.

Enter the name of the program into the Application box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea.

Use the Protocol drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding.

Put a checkmark in the Range checkbox.

If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Left Port Number and the Right Port Number boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Left Port Number box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Right Port Number box.

When you are finished, click the Add button.

Click the Virtual Server link near the left of the page.

Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the Server IP Address box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer's ip address into that box.

Select the applications you just created in the Application list, then click the Add button to move them to the Virtual Server box.

And that is it! You are done!


To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
