Port forwarding for Tilgin HG2381

Port forwarding is currently only being used for IPv4 addresses. Tilgin is developing firmware
which will allow usage of IP Filtering for IPv6 addresses.

To change your port forwarding parameters, connect your personal computer via ethernet cable
or via wifi to the router. Open a web browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the search line of the
browser. You should then see a login page, as below (Image 1).

In the Username field, type “admin”. You’ll be able to find the password associated with your
router written on the back of the router itself. Once identified, type this into the Password field.

Once logged in, navigate to Advanced > Port forwarding, as illustrated in Image 2.

At the bottom of this page, refer to “Custom forwarding”. Name the port forwarding rule and
associate WAN connection to it. The connection type should be dhcp-over-eth. An example of
the creation of a port forwarding rule for local web server is illustrated in Image 3. Once the Name
and Connection type are set, click Add.

Image 4 illustrates the main parameter configuration of port forwarding rules.

First, thick on Enabled field to make the port forwarding rule active.

Check your personal computer’s private IPv4 address and type it in the Destination IP address
field.

List which ports need to pass the router’s firewall. In the example illustrated in Image 4, the TCP
port 8080 which will serve local Web server placed in LAN.

If the web server needs to be seen from any public IPv4 address, type 0.0.0.0 in the Source IP
address and list prefix length as 0. Otherwise, if the web server needs to be accessed from just
one IPv4 address, list that one address as illustrated in Image 4.

Once all parameters are entered, click Apply. Save the router configuration by clicking Save
settings in the upper right corner of the screen.

A list of commonly used ports is illustrated in Image 5.

Please also note that ports 80 and 443 should never be used on WAN side, as these ports are
reserved for Hyperoptic. remote management. If you would like to use these ports on your
server in a LAN, then you can use different ports on WAN side as shown Image 6 (e.g. you can
use ports on WAN side 12000, 12001 and map them to LAN ports 80, 443 respectively). For
additional help on port numbers and TCP/UDP, please refer to

Alternatively, it’s possible to allow a certain range of WAN ports that will all be translated into one
LAN port. This kind of configuration is illustrated in Image 6. In this case, a local web server placed
in LAN is listening for connections on port 8080. The router will forward all connection requests
that come to WAN router port 12001 to this local server.

If a LAN device needs to be placed in a demilitarized zone, navigate to section DMZ as illustrated
in Image 7 (Advanced > DMZ). Devices placed in DMZ will not be affected by a router’s firewall.
