Vonage V-Portal User Guide Port Forwarding is used when you want to provide public access to services running on your private LAN (such as a web server, e-mail server or FTP server). When a firewall is enabled, certain ports on a LAN may be blocked. Port forwarding allows incoming traffic from the Internet and directs it to specific services on your LAN based on the configured IP address and port number. In other words, requests from users are sent to your network via the Internet, and the VPortal will forward these requests to the appropriate port on the PC. The specific port forwarding rules you need to implement will be detailed in the applications' documentation. For your convenience, we have included a table of commonly used port numbers below.

We recommend that only users with advanced networking knowledge change these settings. To setup Port forwarding: From the home page, click on the Advanced Setup tab. The Port Setting screen will be displayed. The Port Forwarding section is at the top of that screen: View the Terms of Service by visiting the Vonage website at www.vonage.com/tos.
