Port forwarding is a technique used to allow incoming network traffic to reach a specific IP address and port on a local machine. It is commonly used in situations where a device behind a firewall or router needs to be accessed from outside of the local network. In order to set up port forwarding, you will need to know the IP address and port number of the device that you want to access, as well as the IP address and port number of your router. You will also need to log in to your router's web interface. Once you have logged in to your router's web interface, you can typically find the port forwarding settings under a section called "Advanced" or "Port Forwarding." From here, you will be able to specify the IP address and port number of the device that you want to access, as well as the IP address and port number of your router. It is important to note that port forwarding can be a security risk if not done properly. If an attacker knows the IP address and port number of a device on your local network, they may be able to access it and potentially cause harm. Therefore, it is recommended to only enable port forwarding when necessary and to use strong password
