Port Forwarding - What is...

Network protocols use specific ports. When traffic comes from the internet to your network you need to configure where that traffic goes. Port Forwarding allows you to point specific port to specific IP Addresses one you're LAN.

I've recently been trying to brush up on all of my computer knowledge and skills for some IT job hunts, and your videos have literally been god tier. I've probably binged around 30 of your videos over the past week and a half now, over half of those being your course-length videos. Thank you so much, Eli. You teach concepts so fluently and make them so understandable and easy to digest. You honestly teach better than most of the professors who taught in college. Keep up the fantastic work, Eli. You're awesome and inspiring.

Great...needed this. I need to direct traffic to my Cisco router.

[@brandonfarfan1978]

Nice explanation.

Useful information for basic networking such as CCTV camera accessing from outside kinda sinarios

[@rockinray6197]

leave the gateway blank for NIC which is set apart for external Web traffic. It can be found by internal DNS as it is given an internal address. Give the internal A RECORD an ext addr. 22:56:23:25

Now if only I could figure out why the port forwarding won't work for my Minecraft and 7D2D server...

ELI the IT GUY

[@oibab1475]

Stupid question- From 4:10 onwards, when you say "Figure out what Port that server will need", how do you do this?

[@lerdi]

So ipaddress:port forwards to ip address, or it forwards also to combination of ip:port?

[@user-xl8uo9gp9p]

what if two devices want same port??

[@tarekmadouni5733]

wow you still got it

[@Legend_Gamerboy]

Port Forwarding is Pointless just by Using IPV6 any way...
