How to Set Up Port Forwarding on a Router

Port forwarding opens certain ports on your home or small business network, usually blocked from access by your router, to the Internet. Opening specific ports can allow games, servers, BitTorrent clients, and other applications to work through the usual security of your router that otherwise does not permit connections to these ports. Follow this guide to forward the ports you need, regardless of your operating system.

Steps

1. 
   1
   Enter your router’s IP address into the address bar of a web browser. This will open your router’s configuration page. For most routers, this will be 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.2.1. However, if you want to figure out the IP, here's how to do it:^[1]
   • For Windows: Open the command prompt and enter ipconfig /all. The router’s IP address is usually the same as the Default Gateway.
   • For Mac: Open the terminal and enter netstat -nr.
   • For Linux: Open the terminal and enter route.
2. 
   2
   Enter your username and password. If you've already configured the security settings for your router, enter the username and password you chose then. If not, here are some of the most common default logins:^[2]
   • On Linksys routers, type "admin" for both the username and the password.
   • On Netgear routers, type "admin" for the username and "password" for the password.
   • On other routers, try leaving the username empty and entering "admin" for the password.
   • You can visit sites such as RouterPasswords.com and enter in your router’s model to find the default password.
   • If you've forgotten your login information, you can press the reset button on your router to reset it to factory defaults. You can then look up the factory default settings online.
3. 
   3
   Find the Port Forwarding section. Each router will be slightly different. Common labels are Port Forwarding, Applications, Gaming, Virtual Servers. If you don't see one of these or something similar, try Advanced Settings and look for a Port Forwarding subsection.
4. 
   4
   Find a preconfigured entry. Many routers will have a dropdown menu with preconfigured options for well-known applications. If you need to open ports for one of these applications, select it from the list.
5. 5
   Create a custom entry. If the program you want to add is not listed, you will need to create a custom port forwarding entry. Each router will have a slightly different way of doing this, although the required information is the same for any router:
   • Enter a name for the service. Name it something related to the program so that you know what the entry is for.
   • Choose the service type. This can be TCP, UDP, or both. The service type depends on what program you are unblocking. If you are unsure, select the TCP/UPD option.
     
   • Select the ports you wish to use. If you only want one port open, enter the same number in Start and End. If you wish to open a range of ports (say 5), you might type 3784 in Start and 3788 in End.
     
   • Select the internal IP address to assign the port forwarding to. This is the IP address of the computer running the application that you are unblocking. Check out the guides for PC or Mac to find your internal IP.
6. 
   6
   Save your settings. You may have an Apply button instead of Save. You might need to restart your router for them to take effect.

How To Use VPN in Windows Phone 8.1

Use a VPN connection

At a coffee shop and need to get to a site on your company's intranet? Or using an app from your company at home? With virtual private networking (VPN), you can do these things from your Windows Phone—just as if you were in the office. VPN gives you a secure connection to your company's network, so you can send and receive private information using a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection.

To get a VPN profile on your phone

The first step is to get a VPN profile onto your phone. There are two ways to get one:

• Set up a workplace account to automatically get a VPN profile from your company.
• Create a VPN profile on your own. (You can learn how later in this topic.) When you do this, you'll need to contact your company's support person to get the VPN connection settings for your organization.

Note

VPN is only available on Windows Phone 8.1. Check to see which software version you have and find out if an update is available.

To connect to a VPN

Once you have a VPN profile on your phone, you're ready to connect.

1. In the App list, tap Settings > VPN.
   
   
   
2. Tap and hold the VPN profile name, and then tap Edit.
3. In the User name and Password boxes, type your user name and password.
4. To connect to the VPN, do one of the following, depending on what type of profile you're using:
   • If the VPN profile has Automatic listed under it, your phone will automatically connect to the VPN when you try to access information on your company's network.
   • If the VPN profile has Manual listed under it, tap the profile to connect to the VPN, and then use the app that accesses data on your company's network or visit a company intranet site.

Note

The icons at the top of your screen will show you when you're connected to the VPN. This icon appears when you're connected over Wi-Fi, and this one shows when you're connected over cellular data.

To create a VPN profile

If you don't have a VPN profile on your phone, you'll need to create one on your own. Before you start, contact your company's support person to get the VPN connection settings for your organization.

1. In the App list, tap Settings > VPN.
2. Set Status to On , and then tap Add .
3. In the Server name or IP address box, type the server name or IP address of your VPN server.
4. Tap Type and choose the type of VPN connection you want to create.
   If an SSL VPN app is required and you don't have one installed yet, tap the link to download one from the Store.
5. Tap Connect using, and choose the method you want to use to connect.
6. In the User name and Password boxes, type your user name and password.
7. To automatically connect to the VPN when a company app or site requires it, set Connect automatically to On .
8. For Send all traffic, do one of the following:
   • To have all data you send and receive go over the VPN, set Send all traffic to On .
   • To only have data that requires access to your company's network or intranet go over the VPN connection, set Send all traffic to Off , tap Domains and IP ranges, and then enter the domain names and IP ranges that are protected. Only data that's sent and received from those domains or IP addresses will go over the VPN connection. Other data that's sent or received won't go over the VPN.
9. In the Profile name box, type a name for your profile.
10. Tap Advanced, and then enter any additional settings you need to for your organization's VPN.
    You might need to contact your company's support person to get additional information, such as the Proxy settings and DNS suffix to use for your company's network.
11. Press the Back button on your phone to go back to the Add profile screen, and then tap Save.
