Port Forwarding Tab
Port Forwarding allows specific applications to be forwarded to a particular device connected to your
network. Normally, the built-in firewall blocks incoming traffic from the Internet. Port forwarding
allows Internet users to access any server you are running on your computer, such as a Web, FTP, or
Email server.
Important: Port forwarding creates a security risk and should not be turned on unless it is required.
Some mobile networks provide you with an IP address on their own network rather than an Internet IP
address. In this case, Port Forwarding cannot be used, because Internet users cannot reach your IP
address.
