For a server or programme to work properly (camera, FTP, VPN, games or other), it is sometimes necessary to open one or more ports on your router to make it accessible from the outside. This article guides you through adding or removing a port opening on your NordnetBox or router via your Customer Area or the box’s graphical interface, depending on the model.
