Netbiter Remote Access User Manual
5.1.2. TCP/UDP Port Forwarding
This group of settings allows detailed control over the IP addresses, ports and protocols to use for ac-
cessing remote devices. For each IP address or range of addresses to allow access to, select the allowed
protocols and enter the allowed ports, as in the examples shown here. Any other IP address not listed
here will be not be accessible on the remote network.
Port forwarding is disabled by default. When first enabled, all IP addresses and ports will be
allowed.
The use of wildcards (*) for ranges of IP addresses and ports is supported. In the examples above,
all the IP addresses in the range 167.123.45.0 to 167.123.45.255 are accessible, as is the
single IP address 87.214.85.150, which has its own separate entry.
The network protocols available for use are:
•TCP/UDP
•TCP (only)
• UDP (only)
Use the green button to add new entries to the list. To remove an entry,
click the Remove link in the right-hand column.
Click the Save button to save changes to the list.
5.1.3. Network Bridge
If the device to be accessed remotely has no support for access via a specified network (TCP/UDP)
port, then the other option is to open up the network for broader access on the “remote” side.
Enabling the Network Bridge setting will allow the use of
a channel within the tunnel that will be used as a traditional
VPN connection, meaning that the client accessing the de-
vice on the “remote” side will simultaneously have access
to the entire network on that side.
For further information on the network settings to use for the device to be accessed remotely, please see
the documentation for that device.
IMPORTANT! Enabling the Network Bridge setting will allow unrestricted access to all IP
addresses and ports on the remote network.
