↔️Forwarding Traffic

At the time of writing this, our Web Router supports 3 types of Forwarding Rules, we will be teaching you how to utilize these rules in runtime scenarios.

hashtag
Types of Forwarding Rules:

  • Forward-All

  • Forward-Port

  • Forward-Bulk-Port

hashtag
Forward-All

Mirror an endpoint 1:1 (one-to-one), for example:

Forward-All will automatically start forwarding all ICMP/UDP/TCP traffic.

202.181.177.177 - Rented IP
1.1.1.1         - Backend Endpoint

User <-> 202.181.177.177:22 <-> 1.1.1.1:22
User <-> 202.181.177.177:80 <-> 1.1.1.1:80

Utilizing a Forward-All rule, will allow your Rented IP to forward port-for-port.

Forward-Port

Our Forward-Port functionality allows for extreme network customization, giving the consumer the ability to forward a specific port on your Rented IP's network, to a specific port on another network, which can allow you to do things such as the following:

  • Setup a basic datacentre utilizing your home network, without needing to purchase extra IPs from your ISP at extortionist rates.

  • Create your own distributed network for load balancing etc.

Forward-Port will automatically start forwarding all UDP/TCP traffic.

Forward-Bulk-Port (Forward-Port)

Deriving from the Forward-Port rule, we have a 'BULK' version, which is intended to allow consumers the ability to forward a range of ports across their Rented IP's network to a range of ports on another network. This rule is the starting point for consumers to create advanced network infrastructure.

At this moment in time, due to performance concerns etc, Forward-Bulk-Port rules cannot exceed 1000 ports per-operation.
