How Do I Port Forward This?

[Creed1]

Hello.

 

I am looking to port forward one of my web server programs, but I can't seem to find the port of the program. For me to connect to it, I use the url 192.168.1.xx/multicraft                     

 

How do I port forward this?

 

Thanks.

Since multicraft is essentially a webpage hosted by that internal IP i'd imagine you'd want to make port 80 public and access it through "your.external.ip/multicraft". However, your ISP likely blocks port 80 forwarding since they don't want people hosting web servers through them and etc etc. You can get around this by forwarding another port (ex: 8080) to port 80, effectively accessing that port through another one. One downside to this is you'd access the panel through "your.external.ip:8080/multicraft". A guide unrelated to Multicraft details how to do this (ignore the Raspberry Pi stuff):

 

• Next, find the port forwarding configuration screen in your router’s administration panel. You’ll want to route the HTTP port (TCP 80) and/or HTTPS port (TCP 443) to the Raspberry Pi's IP. Note, you only need to forward port 443 if you plan to enable SSL encryption (I recommend that you do, and this software supports it). These ports will be used to send data to the Raspberry Pi. You’ll also need to forward any remote service ports that you want to use to access the remote computer. Importantly, many ISPs will block incoming traffic on port 80 and or 443, the default HTTP(S) ports, to prevent customers from hosting websites from their residences. But, you’re smarter than they are! Simply route an arbitrary external port, to the internal port 80 or 443 on your Raspberry Pi. In the screenshot below, you can see that I am routing external port 5000 to internal port 80. This means that when you eventually access the WOL server, you’ll need to specify the port, like this: wol.example.com:5000. Route the appropriate port for whatever services you want to access on the remote computer.

Hey i have tried to do this on my DreyTek Vigor2830n V2 but it says The Value of Start Port can not be bigger than End Port.
