Static Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Port Forwarding is essentially creating a second entryway to your computer, aside the IP address, that allows programs that upload and download to run much faster and more consistently well. However, they pose the risk of being an open port into your computer whilst the port is open. Then again, there are 80000 possible ports, and it is not very likely that your specific IP will be attacked via that specific port. My question is, why did I only learn about this yesterday? p.s. Its basically fantastic for downloading music and Torrents at a much faster speed :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
