I am informed the last posting was about 5yrs ago, I dont seem to get a way around port fowarding on this Cambium router, i have a web based System running on port xxxx of a computer with ip y:y:y:y and i want it accessible outside but i cant seem to get a way around it. ![image](https://d1okf4ta8xniw3.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/9/891dff67d499cee54de69fcda51d4930db82a493.png) ---

Never seen an image of cnPilot software. Well. Same software used by Flyingvoice products. Really interesting… ---

Hi @Emenyu_Jimmy, Please find below the steps to configure the port forwarding rule: Navigate to Network-\>Port Forward. Add LAN host {Destination-192.168.11.185} IP address. Port number/range and protocol. Try connecting to the router’s WAN IP + port. Traffic will be forwarded to the destination LAN host. Please find below an example of the port-forwarding rule. ![image](https://d1okf4ta8xniw3.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/3/63970d71559752593b5a8044b6e691f36e24565c.png) **NOTE** : Source IP address was introduced to limit the access to the specific host. Regards, Smriti ---

Hi, I tried to use this service and now it looks like is not working, but I don’t if it worked before as I didn’t find anything with a practical example. The post above is just showing where to make the configuration, it is not showing it working. Do you have some test? Thank you so much. ---

@Julio_Araujo1 Are you only looking for a test case to check if this works or not ? Or do you need help in setting up port-forwarding to access a LAN host from WAN ? Please share the scenario which did not work for you. ---

When I try to access [https://xx.x.x.x:80](https://xx.x.x.x:80) or x.x.x.x:443. I can see the radio portal but when I try with a different port x.x.x.x:4000 this does not work. ![image](https://d1okf4ta8xniw3.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/2/82f40aa85aaf848b818f216ca8a5f3f99673bb8b.png) ---

Hi all, We tested setting in this way below and now it is working. ![Cambium](https://d1okf4ta8xniw3.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/2/b25fb0af1c3d5466bf7c30d98ed14005a8b3feea.png) ---

I know this is an old post but I have a couple of questions. What is the difference between the top half of the Port Forward and the bottom half that says Virtual Servers and which should I use and when. The other question is how to use the Src IP field. Is that for security so only a request from that IP gets access. Does leaving it blank let anybody in?
