Think of your router as being a huge electric fence or wall, with a few doors or openings. This electric fence or wall serves as your barrier and security blanket from the scary outside Internet world. Your router comes preconfigured with a few of those doors (or ports) open to let you access the internet, but the others are closed tight. So, in order to run a mail server, game server, access your computer remotely, etc you will need to open an extra door or two in your router in order for the outside traffic to get inside. This is called Port Forwarding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Login to your router via the <a href='http:\/\/www.noip.com\/support\/knowledgebase\/finding-your-default-gateway\/'>default gateway address<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Enter your router credentials into the login page.<br \/>\n<strong>Please Note:<\/strong> <em>Your router credentials should be on a sticker on the bottom of your router. If not, you can see the most common credentials below.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Device     Username   Password<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>D-Link     admin        (leave blank)<\/p>\n<p>Netgear     admin        password<\/p>\n<p>Linksys     admin       admin<\/p>\n<p>Asus       admin        admin<\/p>\n<p>DrayTek    admin       admin<\/p>\n<p>ZyXel      admin        1234<\/p>\n<p>TP-Link     admin       admin<\/p>\n<p>TRENDnet   admin       admin<\/p>\n<p>Belkin       admin       (leave blank)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Next, locate the port forwarding settings. Typically this will be under <strong>Advanced<\/strong> and then <strong>Port Forwarding<\/strong> or <strong>Virtual Server<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> On the <strong>Port<\/strong> <strong>Forwarding<\/strong> page enter in a name for your device like, \u201cCamera\u201d. Then enter the port you are forwarding in the port field. Select \u201cTCP\/UDP\u201d or \u201cBoth\u201d under <strong>Protocol<\/strong> if you are unsure which protocol you are using. Next, enter the internal IP address of the device you are port forwarding to and click \u201cApply\u201d or \u201cSave\u201d to store the changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Finally, check to see if the port is open by going to <a href='http:\/\/www.portchecktool.com\/'>www.portchecktool.com<\/a>. Enter the port number you have forwarded and click \u201cCheck Your Port\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>You should now be able to connect to your device via a web browser. Simply enter your hostname followed by the port number into the address bar. For example <a href='http:\/\/hostname.ddns.net:8000' target='_blank' class='url' rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/hostname.ddns.net:8000<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Please Note:<\/strong> <em>If you are using a mobile application, you will simply need to use your hostname to connect. The application should already specify the port when attempting to connect.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Below you will see interfaces from the 4 most popular manufacturers. Be aware that your router may display a different interface. If you have any questions or are unsure what to do, we recommend finding a guide that provides more information.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/search\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;index=aps&amp;keywords=Linksys router&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=noip0c-20&amp;linkId=OIZ45D7R3LU7NVPL&amp;utm_source=Amazon&amp;utm_medium=KB&amp;utm_campaign=Linksys router'>Linksys<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-536\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/8A2pLPN.png\" width=\"624\" height=\"386\" alt=\"Port Forward 1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-537\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/z16diOp.png\" width=\"622\" height=\"496\" alt=\"Port Forward 2\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/search\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;index=aps&amp;keywords=Netgear router&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=noip0c-20&amp;linkId=H6TCO6CAA54M7V4V&amp;utm_source=Amazon&amp;utm_medium=KB&amp;utm_campaign=Netgear router'>NETGEAR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-538\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kgd90Xh.png\" width=\"623\" height=\"507\" alt=\"Port Forward 3\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-539\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NYYrvqA.png\" width=\"624\" height=\"431\" alt=\"Port Forward 4\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/search\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;index=aps&amp;keywords=Belkin ROUTER&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=noip0c-20&amp;linkId=FWFO2OYHRFIOG5CG&amp;utm_source=Amazon&amp;utm_medium=KB&amp;utm_campaign=Belkin router'>Belkin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-540\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/qbn1Msj.png\" width=\"619\" height=\"507\" alt=\"Port Forward 5\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-541\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/R0mFiEp.png\" width=\"626\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Port Forward 6\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/search\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;index=aps&amp;keywords=ASUS ROUTER&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=noip0c-20&amp;linkId=E35XPJGEURMJFNXK&amp;utm_source=Amazon&amp;utm_medium=KB&amp;utm_campaign=ASUS router'>ASUS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-542\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9Qq6qLj.png\" width=\"619\" height=\"616\" alt=\"Port Forward 7\" \/><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.noip.com\/support\/knowledgebase\/general-port-forwarding-guide\/ How to Port Forward \u2013 General Guide to Multiple Router Brands &nbsp; Here\u2019s a great video that explains the basics of port forwarding: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CLunOJZqmc0 If you have a router at home or your office, you will need to forward ports in order for outside traffic to get into your network.
