This page will show you how to setup a port forward on the BEC Technologies BEC 7800TN router.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

NordVPN is the fastest VPN!

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

This places you on a page like the one you see above. In the first box labeled Application enter the name of the program. It is not especially important what you enter here, but we recommend entering something that helps you to remember why you are forwarding these ports.

Next is the Protocol drop down menu. Use this menu to choose the type of protocol you wish to use when forwarding these ports.

In the box labeled Internal IP Address enter the IP Address you are forwarding these ports to. For example if you are forwarding these ports to run a program on your computer, be sure to use this computer's IP Address here.

Next is the External Port and Internal Port. If you are forwarding a single port, you will need to enter that port number into both of the boxes under External Port and both boxes under Internal Port. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of the range in the left box of both the External Port and Internal Port. Enter the highest number in the range in the right box of both the External Port and Internal Port.

When you have finished, click the Add button, then click the choice on the bottom of the screen, in very tiny letters, labeled Save Config.

That's it, you did it!
