Port forwarding allows remote computers (e.g., computers on the Internet) to connect to a specific computer or service within a private local area network (LAN). A public IP must be available for the Restreamer's IP to be accessible from "outside" after installation.
Open ports for HTTP and HTTPS are required. We recommend using HTTPS on the website.
| What | Router (external port) | Restreamer (internal port) | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
HTTP | 80/tcp | 8080/tcp | |
HTTPS | 443/tcp | 8181/tcp | x |
RTMP | 1935/tcp | 1935/tcp | x |
RTMPS | 1936/tcp | 1936/tcp | x |
SRT | 6000/udp | 6000/udp | x |
RTMPS can be activated in addition to HTTPS!
To use live streams/players/publication sites on the Internet, including Let's Encrypt (automatic HTTPS certification function), the port forwarders for HTTP and HTTPS are required.
Various free web services are available on the Internet for testing to check whether the forwarding is active without errors.
