This page will show you how to setup a port forward on the Billion Bipac 5210S 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 faster than ever deal!

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.

Now on the correct page, use the drop down menu labeled Rule Index to choose the number of the rule you wish to change. All you are doing here is picking an empty line under the Virtual Server Listing. That number is the rule you are going to modify.

Next is the Application box. Enter the name of the program you are forwarding ports for. You can enter anything you like in this step, but we recommend that you enter something that will remind you of why you are forwarding these ports.

Below that is the Protocol drop down menu. Use this menu to choose the type of protocol you want to use when forwarding your ports. You have the choice of TCP, UDP or All.

If you are forwarding a single port, enter the port number you are wanting to forward in the Start Port Number and again in the End Port Number box.

If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of the range in the Start Port Number box, and the highest number of the range in the End Port Number box.

In the box labeled Local IP Address enter the IP address you are forwarding these ports to. Say that you are forwarding a port to run a program on your computer at home, be sure and use that computer's IP address here in this box.

Before you exit, be sure and click the SAVE button down at the bottom of the page.

Congratulations! You did it!
