How To Forward a Port
Port Forward – Example [ZTE ZXHN H108N Router]

commonly used in gaming, security camera setup, voice over ip, and downloading
files. After you have forwarded a port you are said to have an open port.

in your router are :
1. Login to your router.

virtual server.

Network Utilities tool
Our software is the easiest way to get an open port. Here’s how it works.
Step 1:
First you run the Router Detector to locate your router on your network and ensure
that you only have 1 router.
Step 2:
After that you use the Static IP Setter to ensure that your PC has a static IP address.
This is helpful in diagnosing open port issues because some routers refuse to forward
a port to a dynamic IP address.

you want to test and our server tries to connect. When our server connects then we
know that the port has been forwarded and is now open.
