The IP address of the device you want to forward the port to.
The port number that you want to forward.
The Ubee router’s login credentials typically include a username and password.

Steps to configure port forwarding on your Ubee router in the UK

Here are the general steps to configure port forwarding on your Ubee router:

In your browser enter your router’s static IP address in the address bar. The default IP address for Ubee routers is usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.100.1.
Enter your router’s username and password when prompted. If you have not changed these from the default, the username is usually “admin” and the password is usually “password”.
Once you are logged in to your router’s web interface, locate the “Port Forwarding” or “Applications” section. This can usually be found under the “Advanced” or “Firewall” settings.
Click on “Add” or “Create” to create a new port forwarding rule.
Provide a name for the port forwarding rule, such as “HTTP server”
Mention the protocol you want to forward (TCP, UDP, or both)
Add the external port number you want to open on the Internet side of your router.
Enter the internal port number of your device.
Add the static IP address of the device or server you want to forward traffic to.
Click “Save” or “Apply” to save the port forwarding rule.

The exact steps for configuring port forwarding may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your Ubee router.

When port forwarding, effortlessly bypass CGNAT

When an ISP employs CGNAT to conserve IPv4 addresses, accessing or forwarding ports on your router can be a challenging task. Devices behind CGNAT lack a public IP address, making them inaccessible from the internet.

Your router may have a private IP address designated by your ISP’s network, which is converted to the public IP address of the CGNAT gateway before being transmitted to the internet.

Some ISPs don’t even allow their customers to create port forwarding rules or they may charge extra fees.
