Are you trying to port forward your AirRouter router to enjoy online gaming with your friends, getting remote access or a network camera? Don’t worry; it’s not as complicated as it sounds! In this guide, we’ll take you step-by-step through how to port forward AirRouter so you can enjoy the benefits of your new setup in no time.
Whether you’re a tech novice or a seasoned pro, this guide will help you set up port forwarding on your AirRouter quickly and easily.
So, let’s get started!
Before starting to set up port forwarding on your AirRouter, ensure that you have the following things ready:
Important Note: Some applications or services require a specific range of ports for forwarding. For example, online gaming often requires ports between 6000 and 7000. So, always check the documentation for the application or service you want to forward ports for, which will ensure that you are forwarding the correct ports.
Once you have the above requirements available, you can proceed to the next step of the port forwarding process on your AirRouter.
Note: Always configure a static IP address on your device so that the ports remain open even after a reboot. To do so, you can check your device’s Static IP setup guide.
To open your ports safely and make sure they have forwarded correctly, you can use the Port Forwarding add-on provided by PureVPN. It’s easy as pie!
Open Your Ports NowMost ISPs (internet service providers) perform CGNAT (Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation) to extend the number of available IP addresses on their network. CGNAT can make it difficult to set up port forwarding because a single IP is shared by multiple consumers.
But don’t worry! There is a solution to this CGNAT problem. You can use PureVPN’s port forwarding add-on to bypass CGNAT and easily open the ports you need and enjoy the benefits of your new setup in no time. For more information on how to use PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on to get around CGNAT within minutes, click here.
Bypass CGNAT NowA safe and secure way to set up port forwarding
Many people find setting up port forward AirRouter to be a complicated process. One of the reasons is that different routers have different interfaces, making it hard to find the right settings.
So, whether you’re trying to set up online gaming, remote access, or a network camera, being unable to configure port forwarding properly can be a major pain point, especially for those who are not tech-savvy.
Fortunately, PureVPN’s port forwarding add-on is the solution to open ports behind CGNAT or port forwarding automatically. This add-on offers security and provides an easy way to enable port forwarding on your network. With the Port Forwarding Add-on, you can open or close all ports, and conveniently grant access to specific ports.
For AirRouter, the ports you can forward will depend on the specific application or service that you want to use. It’s always a good idea to look at the documentation for the application or service you are forwarding ports for, to ensure that you are forwarding the correct ports. You can view the complete list of ports with their associated services here.
Forwarding a port can turn into a security vulnerability. But if you do it correctly and follow security measures, such as using a port forwarding add-on with a VPN, it is generally considered safe.
Yes, you can. With PureVPN’s port forwarding add-on, you can easily open ports with enhanced security and privacy. However, most people don’t need to use port forwarding when using a VPN, but there are some cases, like remote access to devices, where it could be beneficial.
To set up port forwarding on your router, log into the router’s web interface and navigate to the port forwarding section. Once there, you will need to enter port numbers and your device’s IP address and select the protocol, either TCP or UDP. After entering the information, remember to save your changes. However, If your router’s settings don’t show port forwarding, you may need to update your router’s firmware.
