What is a Port Forward?

A port forward is a type of Network Address Translation (NAT) that maps inbound traffic on a public IP, protocol, and port (or range) to a specific private IP and (optionally different) port on your internal network.

A common use case is exposing a web server (TCP 80/443) hosted on your LAN.

How to add a Port Forward on your Firewall

1. Sign in at dashboard.meter.com.
2. Navigate to Security → Port forwarding.
3. Click Add rule.
4. Fill in:
   • Name
   • Description (recommended)
   • Interface (public IP/interface of the network)
   • External IP
   • Internal IP (destination host on your LAN)
   • Protocol: TCP, UDP, or Both
   • External port/port range (e.g., 443 or 8000–8010)
   • Local port (defaults to the same as the external)
5. Click Save. Allow up to 5 minutes for changes to propagate.

How to remove a Port Forward

1. Sign in at dashboard.meter.com.
2. Go to Security → Port forwarding.
3. Select the rule to remove.
4. Click the ⋯ menu (top right) → Delete, review, then confirm Delete.
5. The port forward is removed.
