Port forwarding allows a client device on your home network to be accessible to computers on the internet, even though the device(s) are behind a router and its firewall. It is important to set up a static IP address in the device that you are forwarding a port to. This ensures that your ports will remain open even after your device reboots.
Follow the steps below to open the ports to the internet.
- Access the admin menu at "sila.razer.com" or "192.168.8.1".
- Enter your admin credentials and click "SIGN IN". We recommend using sila.razer.com as it offers better security.
- Select LAN IP > DHCP/DNS Reservations.
- Under "Connected Devices", check the box under "Select" on the device that you wish to open ports to.
- Click on "Add DHCP/DNS Reservation".
- Open your Razer Sila App.
- Click "Firewall / Port Forwarding" under the Status page.
- Select "Inbound Rules" and click on "Add New Rule".
- Create a name for this forward in the "Service Name" box. The name is only used as a reminder and has no effect on the port forward.
- In the Port box, type the port number/s to forward.
- Select the protocol for the port/s that you want to forward from the Protocol drop-down menu.
- Pick the "Allow"radio button.
- Enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to in the "LAN Destination IP" box. This is either the IP address of a computer or of another device on your network.
- Leave the "WAN Source IP" box blank.
- Click the "Apply" button to save settings.
Note: Outbound traffic is allowed by default unless it matches a rule that prohibits the traffic. To block outbound network traffic on a specified TCP or UDP port number, create a rule using the Outbound Rule tab.
You can test to see that the ports are open by using a free port checker tool such as https://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm
