This page will show you how to setup a port forward on the Billion Bipac 7404VGOX 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 is the port forwarding page from your Billion Bipac 7404VGOX router.

You are now on a page like the one you see above. First, enter the name of the Application in the box labeled so. It really doesn't matter what you enter here, it is for your reference. We recommend typing in something that helps remind you of why you are forwarding these ports.

Below this is Protocol. Use the drop down menu provided to choose the type of protocol you want to use when forwarding the ports.

Leave the Time Schedule as Always On.

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

The last box to fill in is the Internal IP Address. In this box enter the IP address that you are forwarding these ports to. So, if you are forwarding a port to help run a program on your computer, be sure to use that computer's IP address here.

When you are done, click the Add button and then Save Config down at the bottom of the page.

That's it, you're done!
