Firewall - Port Forwarding

Overview

Port Forwarding Information
Description Tool for forwarding ports to systems on your local network.
Package Name cc-firewall
Configuration Page Network > Firewall > Port Forwarding

Configuration

If you run servers behind your ClarkConnect gateway, you can use the Port Forwarding page to forward ports to a system on your local area network. In the example below, two port forwarding rules are configured:

  • A web server (port 80) is running on the LAN at 192.168.4.10
  • SSH (port 22) is also running on 192.168.4.10. Since port 22 is already used on the gateway, we specify an alternate port (2222). We then configure our SSH client to use port 2222 to connect directly to 192.168.4.10 from the Internet.

In order for port forwarding to work properly. the target system on your local network must have the default gateway set to ClarkConnect system. In the adjacent screenshot, the configuration for a Windows system is shown. The default gateway in this case is 192.168.1.1 (the IP address of the ClarkConnect system).
