Setting Up a Port Forward for echoServer
When you use echoServer you may need to forward ports in your router. The purpose of forwarding ports is to make a direct connection from the internet to echoServer.
Routers do not generally allow incoming connection requests from the internet. Forwarding ports can work around this limitation.
Remember to Do These Things Before You Forward a Port
Make sure that you know these things before forwarding a port:
- Your router's internal IP address.
- Your computer's internal IP address.
- Each of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
