This guide allows you to use our Port Trigger application along with the port triggering section of your router to forward ports.
Open up the Port Trigger application, and click New button to configure a new rule.
Put a name of the program you are forwarding ports for in to the Application Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why this configuration is here would be a good idea. Click the Autoset button to get an external ip address. Alternatively you can enter any ip address that is outside of your network, in to the Target Address box. Enter the trigger port to use into the Trigger Port box. Once again it doesn't really matter what port you use here. You can pick any random port to put into the Trigger Port box, or just leave at it's default setting. Select the protocol to use by clicking the UDP/TCP radio buttons. Once again it doesn't really matter what protocol you select, but you do need to remember which one you chose. Later on in this guide, we will be entering the selections you chose here into your router. The Delay box tells the Port Trigger application how often to send the packets. If you have problems, like the ports not being forwarded all the time, you should decrease the number in the delay box.
I need you to fill in the boxes below, with the values you entered into the Port Trigger application. Entering the requested values will allow this guide to show you exactly how to configure your router.
BarracudaDrive uses port 80 TCP and port 443 TCP by default, and those are the ports we will configure here. If for whatever reason those ports are not availble, BarracudaDrive will try use to 8080-8100 TCP. For more information about BarracudaDrive, please visit barracudaserver.com
Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape.
Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.8.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is blank. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
In the menu on the left hand side of your screen, click Advanced. In the menu under Advanced click the Auto 2-way Applications link.
By default the Auto 2-way Applications page is disabled. Click the Enable radio button. Then click the Save and Restart button. When you do this it your router will restart. When your router is up and running, log into it again and get to the Auto 2-way Applications page. You will find that the page looks different.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to configure your router. BarracudaDrive requires you to forward the 80,443 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above on your router's two-way appliactions page.
When you are done adding port triggering configurations click the Save and Restart button. And that's it! You're done!
