Setting Up a Port Forward for a QNAP TS-412 device
When you use a QNAP TS-412 device you might need to forward some ports in your router. Forwarding ports is used to allow incoming connection requests from the internet to a QNAP TS-412 device.
Routers are not designed to allow incoming network requests. By forwarding ports you can work around this limitation.
Before Forwarding a Port Checkoff This To Do List
Before forwarding a port make sure that you know these things:
- The IP address of your router.
- The IP address of your NAS.
- Each of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
