What is \»port forwarding\»? How do I create a NAT policy and access rule? A short video that provides step-by-step instructions using the latest in network security.
Hi! Thank you for your video. I have a question. how can i open port 7000 and 80 so i can watch my security cameras on my phone. I did create services and groups for these port and I gave name as VOIP-TCP-8000 and VOIP-TCP-70 and put them in to VOIP1 Groups. now how can i watch my cameras? what i have to do next? any help much appreciated.
Andrew Ive just played your 10min video and along with taking some notes down and applying your advice, my Sonicwall TZ215 has sprung to life for port forwarding. This video is SO helpful and I really appreciate it. Thank you very much.
WHY??!!?? Is it possible to have a video that does not explain the concepts first? It seems finding the text for setting this up is nearly impossible, and the video wastes half its time telling me what port forwarding is. I just want one that shows the steps, not a full 15 minute class on concepts.
Great job! This was straightforward and easily understood.
The explanation of objects was helpful, informative, non-condescending, yet not overly complex for either high- or low-level IT experience and knowledge.
This was very helpful, thanks. Do you have examples of how to restrict port forwarding to allow only a specific external IP address and/or a MAC address to get forwarded? I created an Address Object for my external home IP address. Then I went to Access Rules WAN>LAN. For the PPTP port forwarding rule I changed Allow Source to the Address Object for the home IP address. But, I can still access the VPN from a different external IP address so it’s obviously not blocking anything else.
Hi your videos are very helpful, although i am stuck in a situation where a nether gateway is before the sonic wall tz210…i follow all the steps of the port forward, no luck so i also tried to port forward on nether router as well, strangely the port started working but when i do the same for opening other ports in netgear it says that the port might already be in use etc…i use 192.168.0.10 which is the wan ip for sonic wall
i have tried your steps at another instance and it works great but this is the first time where a nether router is before the sonic wall….is there something i am missing? kindly advice… Thanks
really really very helpful video thanks very much. Though I have a question please I am a bit confused about as I am still finding my feet with firewalls and networking
I have been asked the following question to do on a sonicwall
Please could you ask your IT department to forward the ports listed below to the following IP address 192.168.1.10 UDP/TCP 5060 (SIP) UDP/TCP 3478 (STUN) UDP/TCP 49152 – 53246 (RTP PORTS) up to and included that whole range of ports
On the firewall I have two public IP addresses so I wondering do not I need a specific public IP address from the vendor to forward these ports to internally or just forward these using the public IP addresses on the firewall public interfaces? Thanks Andrew
Thanks very much for this video! I recently picked up a new client and inherited a (poorly) configured SonicWall based network from his previous IT provider. I don’t have much experience with SonicWall and this has helped solve several core problems he had. Cheers!
Stupid question: Anyone know how to get the services list to be sorted by the default layout shown at 2:53? lt’s arranged where the most popular are at the top (HTTP, HTTPS, etc). I’ve recently sorted this list and now I can’t get it back to this default layout. The only sortable columns are Name, Protocol, Port Start and Port End. You can see by the video above that it’s not being sorted by any of these.
Andrew, I purchase a sonicwall TZ 105, On my network, there is a fax machine/copier that has a static IP on the lan. The fax machine is configured to mail PDF version of faxes to the recipient but the email cannot be sent. This feature worked before we switched to the sonic wall. The fax/copier can ping the smtp server. The smtp server is in the WAN. Thanks.
Alright, so a week after the Wannacry Zero Day attack was discovered, you create a video explaining the attack and how the users are NOW protected from this attack. This would not be considered Zero Day prevention. You’ve obtained samples of the file and now are able to protect against this NON-Zero Day attack because you have the signatures for it. How did SonicWall do against the attack when it actually was a Zero Day?
I watched one of your video regarding Port Forwarding on a Sonicwall 240 and I mistakenly entered the wrong Private IP address at the end of the Wizard. I think that was supposed to be my computers IP not my Server. Since I used the Wizard I don’t know what all was created, where do I go to change that?
Any reason this would not work on a TZ 205. Did everything the way you went through it about 10 times, reset everything…starting to lose my mind. Trying to forward port 8000 to a NEC SV9100 and I cannot get the program to connect. Any ideas would be helpful.
Andrew you are the man. I added a network camera to my business and I thought I had everything set up correct but I couldn’t get to my camera from outside the network. Called the camera manufacturer and they took over my computer and acted like they knew how to set up a SonicWall, in the end they said everything was correct that I needed to call the internet provider and have them open the port I needed. I ignored them, found your video, deleted everything I had done and followed your amazing tutorial and bam! my camera is up and running.
Hi Andrew, thanks for the hand! Is it possible to the public server ip to be a noip? using my public ip it worked fine, but i have 2 wan interfaces and wish to use my noip instead of one external ip because it not a fixed ip if my internet disconnect it will get a new external ip
Excellent videos I have watched them and ran my ports the same way but still cannot access ports, I have a tz100 with a dvr behind it that uses ports 6100 and 80 I have tried everything under the sun any help would be greatly appreciated I actually put them in a service group and tried that way as well
Andrew I have a sonicwall appliance that manages 3 IP public addresses… 173.xx.169.228-229-230 it forwards traffic to all but the basic setting for coonection uses the 230 and not all services see the outside as 230 even though they are on the IP ending 229 or 230 is there a solution for this? thanks
Andrew Crouthamel — Thank you for this amazing step by step video. 10 minutes later and my IP cameras can be viewed via the internet. You saved me a lot of time and the frustrations of having to speak with someone at Dell.
I need to open UDP ports 5198 and 5199 for one user. Dell SonicWALL NSA 3600. Your video gave me some tips, but not enough to configure it. Is there another vid that might be more helpful to do this?
Lol.. almost no body sends.exe to anyone for obvious reasons, usual formats are password protected.zip|.rar file for which i don’t think sonicwall can do much once it gets downloaded and unlocked by the end user.
Great video! On the off chance that the ransomware does slip through, it’s a great idea to also set up an alert to inform you of any machines accessing the known wannacry killswitch domains (indicating that wannacry has been installed and is attempting to execute). We have an article on how to do this here: https://www.fastvue.co/sonicwall/blog/find-machines-infected-with-wannacry-ransomware-with-fastvue-reporter Hope this helps!
Hi, question for you about using the wizard after creating the service objects. Does the wizard create the reflexive policies by default? I’m asking because I just installed a TZ100 replacing a much older Sonicwall for an SBS 2003 and everything seems to work except RWW doesn’t seem to be connecting anymore — page cannot be displayed — to me this smells of the firewall not letting 433 or 4125 out. Could that be the case? Thanks man, you’re videos are super helpful for a SonicWall novice
thank you for the video..I did steps shown in video and it worked for port 2001 and 22001 that I wanted to forward, however I did same steps for port 1433 and 1434 but it is not working..can you please help.?
is the process the same for allowing a particular device inside the firewall to reach the internet… for example, a backup solution that is plugged into the server but the backup solution is a host in itself so it would have an ip address?
I am new to SonicWall using TZ105 and did look at your video (1 & 2) I am trying port forwarding to three Remote Desktop at home. using for #1 myhome.no-ip.org for #2 myhome.no-ip.org:3320 and #3 myhome.no-ip.org:3330 and trying to forward to 192.168.100, 192.168.1.120 and 192.168.1.130 all on port 3389. Only #1 is working. Can you help me with it?
Andrew this video is fantastic. I have referred it several times with great success on my end. Recently, though, some trouble. I followed your instructions to set up port forwarding based on the needs of my VOIP vender. More specifically, for UDP ports 10020 through 10083. Vender says that he cannot get Outbound traffic going on those ports. Wizard seemed to run without issue. Any suggestions?
I believe I went through an example on my Advanced Port Forward video, but it sounds like you are doing it correctly. Can you try changing the rule to a Block? Does it stop communications and provide any log messages? If you could send me some screenshots of your config I can take a look as well.
Very good Explanation, thank a lot. I have a question, virtual IP address with same customize port internal is working, while port forward to keep in original not working outside but ISP not working,.. i think PAT port forward may be will help us. i will check
Thanks again Andrew. My Failover & LB is setup as «Basic Failover» with the Interface Ordering beeing X1 then X2. I know the Failover works properly since when I turn off the DSL modem connected to X1, i still get internet access via X2 (connected to another DSL modem) but the WAN Primary IP in my TZ 210 sonic wall gets assign 0.0.0.0 instead of getting the X2 IP. WAN IP Primary only has a valid IP when X1 is up. Is there a setting somewhere to tell WAN Primary IP to pickup the live X#?

how do i do a port redirection?
i am trying to do an RDP redirection. so remote.domain.com:3390 goes to internal ip address x.x.x.x:3389
i have done this sucessfuly on dlink/cisco/juniper/watchguard devices, but cant figure it out on the sonicwall.
thanks!

Hey Andrew, I did everything exactly as you did in this video but the port i need will not open(2525).
Whats strange is i do this for port 80 and the port opens just fine. This seems to be the only port i can open!
Any ideas?
