Simple setup of forwarding ports for devices
This manual applies to a HomeHub 6 model, priced around 32,400. https://portforward.com/bt/home-hub-6/
This guidance is very poor. With this router setup, you usually just need to set the start port for Internal. So you’d enter "External Start 27015 External End 27030 Internal Start 27015." Since you’ve already defined a range, it automatically determines the Internal End to prevent invalid inputs. Remember your External and Internal can differ. For example, if you set External 8000-8015, Internal could stay 27015 keeping Internal End at 27030. If you flip it to External 27015-27030 and set Internal Start 8000, Internal End becomes 8015. In most cases you align internal and external ranges for ease, but security or compatibility issues (like SSH/RDP or multiple servers) might require them to differ.
Sure, I get the first part. For the range, you set the starting value as the internal one and it updates automatically. I’m confused about the second part since you can’t adjust the external end range directly, making it hard to apply two rules at once. Got it—thanks!
You don't always need to perform port remapping. What I meant is that you might consider using nonstandard ports. For instance, if you open RDP and face constant scanning from countries like China, Iran, or Russia, switching to a less common port such as 4000 could help. If you map port 4000 from outside to an internal port (like 3389), your RDP won't function unless you adjust the server settings. This approach applies to port ranges as well.
