In computer port, forwarding a port means opening it, so special applications that use that certain port can work properly. Doing this is not a task that beginners can do, as it requires some knowledge regarding routers and networks. But this changes when using Simple Port Forwarding, a simple application that can assist you through the process of opening a port on the router. Simple Port Forwarding is a Windows application that is simple enough to be used by beginners, but good enough for network professionals, saving them a lot of time with forwarding ports.

Simple Port Forwarding is compatible with most wired and wireless routers and the list is updated periodically, making sure that even the newest models of routers are supported. Finding a preferred router is very simple thanks to the search tool included in the interface. After selecting the desired router, the user should configure its IP and also enter the username and password to connect to it. The program's website displays the default passwords for a variety of routers, for making it easier to a user to find his password router, in case he has never changed it.

After having connected to the router, one can simply select the program that requires a certain port, by choosing it from a large list of applications. Additionally, one can add the required port manually, in case he doesn't find the required application in the list. When launching the application for the first time, a special window will be displayed, acting as a checklist. This window clearly states all the steps that should be followed in order to successfully forward a router port. This window is extremely useful for inexperienced users.

After choosing the desired port or application, the program can automatically configure the router. Doing this manually may take a lot of time and effort, but thanks to the Simple Port Forwarding application, forwarding a port is a seamless operation.

There are some extra tools included in the application, like a tool for clearing webpage cache, fixing browser settings and also displaying some information regarding the router.

Pros

Furthermore, advanced users can add required ports manually into the interface. What's more, there are a couple of extra tools available, that can clear browser cache, fix browser settings and display additional information regarding the router.

Cons

The program requires some knowledge regarding routers and networks, in order to be fully used. Simple Port Forwarding is a solution for automatically forwarding ports, supporting a wide range of router models.
