Introduction

Port forwarding is a networking technique that directs incoming internet traffic to a specific device or service within a private network, allowing external access to applications like web servers, gaming servers, or remote desktops.

WAN Mode

During the installation of the IC Now Pro management console on the server, if you intend to provide remote access to the server you MUST enable "WAN mode" and input either the domain name or WAN IP address. This allows the server to listen for remote connections outside of the LAN. Even if you port forward in your firewall, but do not enable "WAN Mode", the server will not allow any remote connections.

You may also enable "WAN Mode" post install via the IC Now Pro management console using the "Config & Other" button then selecting "Network".

Port forwarding button

The IC Now Pro management console has the ability to let you select the list of services you would like to provide remote access to, review the ports listed, and output those ports to be forwarded into a spreadsheet that is readable by Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice Calc.

Reviewing ports and exporting

For most deployments you would perform the following steps

1. Check the box for "Client & Platform Not of Same Network"
2. Review and/or document the ports that would need to be forwarded
3. Click the "Export" button to save the file with the select ports / functions

All ports used by IC Now Pro

The table below lists ALL ports that the server could utilize, but not necessarily need to be forwarded in your firewall. It is highly recommended to NOT use port redirection but direct 1:1 port forwarding.
