Port Forwarding, what is UPnP?
-
- Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding is a setting that sends signals from specific port to specific IP when using routers.
Signals from outside cannot be sent to all PCs connected to routers so it’s a setting to send signals from port 2501 to A’s PC and send signals from port 2503 to B’s PC
Please refer to the link for details.
- UPnP
This is a standard technology for Searching and connecting MS supportive devices and with this technology users can manually set port forwarding on router without particular settings.
Even if it's not sharing the same internal network environment via router etc. you can connect to home PC or office PC with 3G and Egg outside when Port Forwarding is set properly.
This feature is using router’s technology called uPnP-IGD. Recent routers released within 1~2 years mostly have this technology and users can access to home PC without additional setting.
But if you are using older models that does not support uPnP-IGD or if you had disabled the feature for security purpose, or in doubele-NAT environment which 2 or more routers are used to re-share, you must set port forwarding directly to router in order to use from outside properly.
Please refer to the link for details.
