In the Private IP space, enter the local IP address of the specific computer you are forwarding this port to. If you are unsure of your computer's internal IP address, clicking this link takes you to our guide on how to find it.

Now, select the protocol you are going to use from the Protocol Type drop-down menu.

Next is the Private Port, and the Public Port. Enter the port number you want to forward in these spaces. The numbers in these boxes should match.

Select the Always radio button from the Schedule choices.

That's all there is to it, simply click the green Apply button when you are finished.
