端口(Port)转发将到本地网络的外部连接尝试重定向到该网络上的特定设备。大多数人不需要端口转发，因此家庭网络上的端口通常应该保持关闭。但是，您可能也有很多原因想要设置端口转发。
如果您需要在本地网络路由器上设置端口转发，这里有一些最好的软件以及如何使用它们。
在您的网络(Your Network)上设置端口(Port)转发
我们建议避免使用UPnP（通用即插即用(Universal Plug)）(Play)端口转发，因为它会给您的网络带来多种安全风险。
您可以通过路由器的管理页面创建端口转发规则，而不是使用UPnP软件来启用端口转发。(UPnP)这个过程会根据路由器的品牌、网络的复杂程度以及您想要实现的目标而略有不同。
阅读我们的指南以在您的网络上 手动设置端口转发。(manually setting up port forwarding)
如果您更愿意使用UPnP软件在路由器上启用端口转发，这里有四个最好的软件应用程序可以做到这一点。
1.简单的端口转发(Simple Port Forwarding)
Simple Port Forwarding是PCWintech开发的免费软件，可以让用户轻松设置端口转发。该软件通过网页而不是直接与您的路由器一起工作，这意味着您不必访问路由器的网络界面。总体而言，这使端口转发过程自动化，使其更容易完成。
简单端口转发(Port Forwarding)包含一个包含 700 多个程序和游戏的数据库，可以将您的 IP 设置为静态或DHCP，并适用于所有当前版本的Windows。此外(Further)，它支持 3050 个路由器和 52 种语言。
有免费和付费版本。付费版本提供了多项生活质量升级，可改善软件的使用，但免费版本包括所有端口转发功能。
要使用简单端口转发(Port Forwarding)，请执行以下操作：
- 下载简单端口转发(Simple Port Forwarding )并使用安装文件安装软件。
- 从路由器(Router)下拉列表中 选择您的路由器型号。
- 输入(Input)您的路由器用户名和密码。
- 选择文件(File)>Add Port/s。
- 选择添加自定义(Add Custom)（除非您拥有可以从程序数据库(Program Database)中选择程序的付费版本）。
- 输入(Enter)所需信息，包括Name、Start Port和End Port（这些是您希望转发的端口）。
- 选择添加(Add)。
该端口现在应该被转发并在主窗口的列表中可见。您可以通过选择窗口右下角的 端口测试(Port Tester)器来检查端口转发是否成功。
注意：(Note: )如果您没有付费版本，您可能需要先手动将本地 IP 设置为静态 IP。
2.PF配置(PFConfig)
Port Forward Network Utilities是一个端口转发程序，具有许多功能，可简化路由器的使用。它与Windows 7到Windows 10兼容。
与此列表中的其他软件一样，Port Forward Network Utilities允许您设置静态 IP 地址、检查您的端口是否已转发或配置新的端口转发，甚至可以恢复丢失的路由器密码。
选择 PFConfig(Select PFConfig)配置端口转发。PFConfig包括数以千计的兼容路由器，并使用简单的图形界面。只需单击(Simply)Forward This App选择您希望转发的应用程序，选择协议和目的地，然后选择Update Router。
UPnP PortMapper是另一个免费程序，可让您设置静态公共 IP 地址和端口转发。它以 .jar 文件（Java执行文件）的形式提供，这意味着您需要Java才能使用它。您可以将其用作图形界面或通过控制台命令（允许自动脚本）。
UPnP PortMapper使用简单，但不支持所有路由器型号。请注意，Windows 10 用户可能需要使用2.1.1(Version 2.1.1)版本，因为较新的版本在执行时似乎会导致错误。
要使用该软件，请执行以下操作。
- 执行 .jar 文件，然后选择Create。
- 在新窗口中，选择Add并填写Protoco l 、 External Port和Internal Port。
- 选择保存(Save)。
AUTAPF是由(AUTAPF)NetworkActiv开发的端口转发软件。它允许简单的UDP和TCP端口转发，最高支持Windows 10，包括 64 位版本。
使用AUTAPF，您可以轻松地将外部流量重定向到特定端口或 IP 地址。它允许转发多个端口、实时监控连接、日志导出等。此外，它可以通过图形用户界面、作为系统服务或通过网络浏览器运行。AUTAPF还包括对IPv4、IPv6和MAC地址的支持。
使用AUTAPF设置端口转发很简单，但您必须事先配置一个静态 IP 地址。
端口转发：简单或困难
如果您不喜欢在网络上手动设置端口转发（或者您没有时间学习如何操作），请不要担心！我们在本文中列出的软件将为您完成所有工作。
但是，请记住，您应该避免(you should avoid)与端口转发相关的安全风险，以防止恶意行为者破坏您的网络。
4 Best Port Forwarding Software Apps and How to Use Them
Port forwarding redirects external connection attempts to yоur local netwоrk to а specific device on that network. Most people do not need рort forwarding, so ports on a home network should generally be kept closed. But, there are plenty of reasons you might want to ѕet up port forwarding, too.
If you need to set up port forwarding on your local network router, here’s some of the best software and how to use them.
Setting Up Port Forwarding on Your Network
We recommend avoiding UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) port forwarding because it can introduce several security risks to your network.
Instead of using UPnP software to enable port forwarding, you can create port forwarding rules via your router’s administration page. This process will be slightly different depending on the brand of router, the complexity of your network, and what you want to achieve.
Read our guide for manually setting up port forwarding on your network.
If you’d rather use UPnP software to enable port forwarding on your router, here are four of the best software apps to do so.
Simple Port Forwarding is free software developed by PCWintech which enables users to set up port forwarding easily. This software works via web pages rather than directly with your router, meaning you don’t have to access your router’s web interface. Overall, this automates the process of port forwarding, making it much easier to accomplish.
Simple Port Forwarding contains a database of over 700 programs and games, can set your IP to static or DHCP, and works with all current versions of Windows. Further, it supports 3050 routers and 52 languages.
There’s a free and paid version. The paid version offers several quality-of-life upgrades that improve the use of the software, but the free version includes all port forwarding functionalities.
To use Simple Port Forwarding, do the following:
- Download Simple Port Forwarding and install the software using the setup file.
- Select your router model from the Router drop-down list.
- Input your router username and password.
- Select File > Add Port/s.
- Select Add Custom (unless you have the paid version in which you can select a program from the Program Database).
- Enter the required information, including Name, Start Port, and End Port (these are the ports you wish to forward).
- Select Add.
The port should now be forwarded and visible in the list in the main window. You can check if the port forwarding was successful by selecting Port Tester at the bottom-right of the window.
Note: If you don’t have the paid version, you may have to first set your local IP to a static IP manually.
Port Forward Network Utilities is a port forwarding program with a host of features to simplify the use of your router. It’s compatible with Windows 7 to Windows 10.
Like the other software in this list, Port Forward Network Utilities allows you to set up a static IP address, check if your ports are forwarded or configure new port forwarding, and even recover a lost router password.
Select PFConfig to configure port forwarding. PFConfig includes thousands of compatible routers and works with a simple graphical interface. Simply select an application you wish to forward by clicking Forward This App, choose the protocol and destination, then select Update Router.
UPnP PortMapper is another free program that enables you to set a static public IP address and port forwarding. It’s available as a .jar file (Java execution file) which means you need Java to use it. You can use it either as a graphical interface or via console commands (allowing automated scripts).
UPnP PortMapper is simple to use but doesn’t support all router models. Note that Windows 10 users may need to use Version 2.1.1, as the newer versions appear to result in an error when executed.
To use the software, do the following.
- Execute the .jar file, then select Create.
- In the new window, select Add and fill in the Protocol, External Port, and Internal Port.
- Select Save.
AUTAPF is port forwarding software developed by NetworkActiv. It allows easy UDP and TCP port forwarding with support up to Windows 10, including 64-bit versions.
With AUTAPF you can easily redirect external traffic to specific ports or IP addresses. It allows forwarding of multiple ports, real-time monitoring of connections, log export, and more. Further, it can be run via a graphical user interface, as a system service, or via a web browser. AUTAPF also includes support for IPv4, IPv6, and MAC addresses.
Using AUTAPF to set up port forwarding is simple, but you will have to configure a static IP address beforehand.
Port Forwarding: Easy or Hard
If manually setting up port forwarding on your network isn’t your cup of tea (or you don’t have the time to learn how), don’t worry! The software that we’ve listed in this article will do all of the work for you.
But, keep in mind that there are security risks involved with port forwarding that you should avoid to prevent malicious actors from compromising your network.
