How does port forwarding work for the Restreamer?

So that the Restreamer can be reached via the Internet.

What is port forwarding?

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.

What ports are needed for the Restreamer?

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.

Check port forwarding

Various free web services are available on the Internet for testing to check whether the forwarding is active without errors.
