Port Forwarder (v. 4.4) Разработано Bernhard Herbst |
This app was made to forward inbound connections from internet through your android device to a PC. More Information on Port Forwarding or Port Mapping technique can be found on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding
CAUTION:
Providers may block inbound connections per default. For use with your public IP please clarify if you are behind a NAT or firewall. Your provider may allow you to disable the firewall. If you can ping the public IP from internet you are good to go!
This app allows you to forward a public network port to one target host of your tethered network. For example, Port Forwarder can be used to play LAN games over USB Tethering. This can also be used as connector for a mobile web-server (PC) if your android phone has a public accessible IP.
Port Forwarding Features
- UDP
- TCP
- supports portable Wi-Fi hotspot
- supports USB tethering
- throughput information
- runs as android service
- no su or root required
- does not suppoer port ranges
If you feel like this app does not work please do not hesitate to contact me. But before you do that please try to ping your public IP from the internet to proof your IP is accessible for inbound connections.
Public accessible IP:
Providers may usually protect your device by keeping off any internet connections coming from the outside (inbound connections). So by default you may not be able to host any public service on your device. However, providers may allow you to disable this protection on their website. If you change that, please be aware of the risk.
Thank you for all your feedback so far! I hope we could fix bugs.
If you want to get involved in this project please do not hesitate to contact us. We are searching for an reach-ability tester service to verify whether an IP is accessible from internet or not. If somebody could offer such as a web-service this would be greatly appreciated.
This app does not support ports below 1024 (privileged ports). Please use higher port numbers on this device instead. The target port does not have this restriction.
This app does not allow you to enter ranges of ports.

[2013-08-24] A Google User: Works to forward ports from your mobile data connection to your playstation3 when it is connected via wifi portable hotspot. Galaxy s4 Active. A+ to dev |
|
[2013-08-11] A Google User: Uh yeah I'm sure it would be great if I had any idea how to use this. How about some instructions or a help setting or something? |
|
[2013-07-17] A Google User: Not working on Gameranger software I just wanted to try port forwarding in order to play some games online using gameranger on PC via Wifi Hotspot. On this app the result is successful...but when I want to connect to gameranger server, but it still give me this error "Port-Restricted Cone Nat Router"...If you can fix it, I will give full five stars. Thank You |

[2013-07-05] A Google User: Almost there. This app works exactly as described, which is just a little lacking. A option of port ranges, both TCP/UDP at once, and with root, access to ports below 1024 would give it a 5 star. The interface is very easy to understand, and I hope to see the app evolve to include the aforementioned missing features. |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: This app is great This app I believe was not intended as a direct internet tether service but as a sort of network booster. This app fulfills this task without question |
|
[2013-06-13] A Google User: Good app and usefull for exchange email on android |
|
[2013-05-27] A Google User: Works, but needs occasional restarts I know that most people will not tether to a mini-server, but for most cases, this application definitely works! I've been temporarily using an old Android cell phone as my wireless adapter. There are, however, a couple of limitations: 1) The port forwarding works only for some time. After running for about 48 hours, I need to stop and restart the application for the port forwarding to continue working; 2) The port forwarding has a limitation on the amount of bytes that can be transferred. If I transfer large files via scp, I'm assuming there is some counter that overflows (as the number of bytes transferred goes into the negatives), and I need to restart the application; 3) As mentioned in the description, ports below 1024 cannot be forwarded. This isn't too bad, but it prohibits from running NFSv3, SAMBA, or FTP from the tethered device. Suggested features: 1) Automatic from/to IP detection/selection; 2) Option to forward a range of ports; 3) Option to forward all ports (and make the Android device virtually invisible), perhaps a DMZ mode; 4) Option to forward both TCP and UDP simultaneously |

[2013-05-05] A Google User: Kopi Just to used |
|
[2013-04-10] A Google User: A Good Start... It needs to allow a range of port to be open in one go and the option of both UDP & TCP in one go as it saves time for us. As with the ports to be opened in one go there should be a Start Port and an End Port. Otherwise this app works great after spending a lot of time entering the correct ports. |

[2013-02-06] A Google User: Xbox ports? How do I successfully open the ports for xbox live over wifi? |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Not Good Forwarded for few seconds then stopped and not even forwarding anymore |
|
[2012-12-20] A Google User: DO NOT DOWNLOAD app will screw your hotspot settings up. Hotspot will not work once installed. Avoid as if it is a virus!!!!! Does not work and its a waste of time. This is a joke app. |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Torrent from proxy wifi |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Works for VOIP Needed to forward ports for VOIP over USB tethering. Worked a charm! |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: No Does not work with HTC one x |
|
[2012-10-11] A Google User: Cani have tutorial for this |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: Good Would like to be able to forward a range of ports at once, and using both TCP/UDP at once (Just like in router) |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Broke after update After latest update, the pipe will work for 1 connection and subsequent connections fail |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Can someone actually explain this I want to open the default port 80 with this app and for some reason i dont know how ... explanations would be nice. im sure im not the only one. |
|
[2012-09-19] A Google User: Um can please add a tutorial This will be a realy cool app, but one problem I can't use it. I know you probably made it as simple as you can. Still you should add a tutorial, please. |
|
[2012-08-11] A Google User: Good. But I would like to forward several ports not just one. Oh I may! Nvm. 5 stars. |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Stopped working after update I installed this app about a month or so ago and it worked just great. After updating a couple of days ago I noticed: 1) Added picture of Net->Android Device-->End Device (good addition) 2) Removed ability to set buffer size (I had to change from default to make it work originally) 3) Apparent addition of ads Can I re-obtain the old version? |
|
[2012-07-26] A Google User: Ryan Finally my NAT is fully open over xbox live now, fantastic free app. |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: Problems after update Update causes problems. Interface confusing & constantly reads no activity in all settings. Uninstalled update & change rating to 1 star. |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Can I port forward minecraft with this? |
|
[2012-07-12] A Google User: Doesn't work for me, through no fault of the author. Doesn't work with 2degrees in NZ because they drop inbound connection attempts. |
|
[2012-07-04] A Google User: Doesn't appear to do anything. I'm giving this app the benefit of my doubt for now. Could REALLY use the ability to set port 'ranges', instead of having to enter every one individually. |
|
[2012-06-29] A Google User: Works only with local IPs It's not recognizing external IP and therefore is only useful if you want to forward ports within your local network. |
|
[2012-06-16] A Google User: Good idea, what i need, forward port but... but gives me error as soon as I try to connect. Lenght 162,offset 0, buffer 0. Trying to forward 9987 udp for ts server. HTC Sensation 4g |

[2012-03-19] A Google User: OK, but what's with ports under 1024? Soo.. the app works OK. Easy to understand, easy to use. However i'm missing the ability to run in "rooted" mode to be able to forward ports under 1024. I'd give a 5 star once it's implemented. |

|
[2011-11-15] Jared: Range Nice interface..easy to use..would be nice to be able to forward port ranges |
|
[2011-11-14] Adolfo: Works, but without masquerade The app works as advertised and has a neat user interface. However, it doesn't do masquerading, so it has limited usefulness, specially for UDP applications. Rooted phone owners can always use an iptables script, though (use Gscript to run it): iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -o usb1; iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i rmnet0 -p udp --dport 2056 -j DNAT --to 192.168.42.22:2056; iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -i rmnet0 -o usb1 -d 192.168.42.22 --dport 2056 -j ACCEPT |

[2011-09-17] A Google User: Great app, except 1 thing... This app is great, but could you please make it to where I can open a local port for any remote IP and any remote port? That'd be 5 star worthy! |
