Port forwarding

To be able to use your proxies remotely from a different network, you need to set up port forwarding from your router.

If you plan to get a new router for Proxidize, we recommend getting the TP-Link AC1200.

To enable port forwarding you need to:

1. Open your router dashboard which is http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 or something similar.
2. Find your host’s internal IP. You can find this in the Proxidize interface settings tab called “Device Internal IP“.
3. Set the port forwarding rule as a range for ports 1001 up to the number of modems you have. For 10 modems use range 1001-1010.
4. If you would like to access your Proxidize interface from anywhere, you will need to add a rule for the port 80.

Each router has different port forwarding settings, but they all share the same concept. Here are some of the fields you will need to fill in to configure the rules:

• Local IP. This is your Proxidize host machine internal IP address
• Local port. This would be 1001-100x for proxies, and 80 for Proxidize interface
• External port. Same as local port for the proxies and interface. (You can forward your Proxidize interface to a custom port instead of the default 80. You just need to make sure that your ISP has this port opened from their end)
• Protocol: TCP

This step is optional and is only needed if you want to use your proxies/interface remotely.
