TCP_IP Port Forwarding

To use port forwarding service via a secure tunnel, define port forwarding rules for each application program.

  • Note
    For local forwarding, connection to alocal PC's listening port is forwarded to a specific destination host port.
    For remote forwarding, connection to the remote host listening port is forwarded to a specific destination host port.
    Dynamic forwarding works the same as local forwarding. It automatically determines the host of delivery destination and port according to the SOCKS protocol. The default port number of SOCKS protocol is 1080.
