Configuring Port Forwarding

Port forwarding is only available if your router supports UPnP.

  1. Go to Auto Router Configuration.
  2. Select Enable UPnP port forwarding.

    Your device scans for UPnP routers on the network.

    Tip:

    If your device cannot locate the router, click Rescan. If the issue persists, click Diagnostics, and then verify your network configuration or contact QNAP support through Helpdesk.

  3. Optional: Add a new service to the Forwarded Services table.
    1. Click Add NAS Service.

      The Add NAS Service window appears.

    2. Specify a NAS service name that contains 1 to 64 ASCII characters.
    3. Specify a port number.
    4. Select an external port setting.

      • Auto: myQNAPcloud automatically selects an available external port.

      • Manual: You can specify a new port if the current service port is being used by other services.

    5. Select a protocol.

      If you are unsure about this setting, select TCP.

    6. Click OK.
  4. In the Forwarded Services table, select the services you want to forward.
  5. Click Apply to Router.
    Tip:

    You can go to Overview to verify that there are no connectivity errors.
