Description

From the listing uploaded by “robindahoodshood”.

What do you think of mobile web-servers? This app was made to forward inbound connections from the internet through your android device to a PC. More Information on Port Forwarding or Port Mapping technique can be found on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding Providers may block inbound connections per default. Please verify: If you can ping the public IP of your android device from the internet you are good to go! This app allows you to forward a public network port to one target host of your tethered network. For example, Port Forwarder can be used to play LAN games over USB Tethering. This can also be used as connector for a mobile web-server (PC) if your android phone has a public accessible IP. Port Forwarding Features - UDP - TCP - supports portable Wi-Fi hotspot - supports USB tethering - throughput information - runs as android service - no su or root required - does not suppoer port ranges If you feel like this app does not work please do not hesitate to contact me. But before you do that please try to ping your public IP from the internet to proof your IP is accessible for inbound connections. Public accessible IP: Providers may usually protect your device by keeping off any internet connections coming from the outside (inbound connections). So by default you may not be able to host any public service on your device. However, providers may allow you to disable this protection on their website. If you change that, please be aware of the risk. Thank you for all your feedback so far. I hope we could fix bugs reported. This app does not support ports below 1024 (privileged ports). Please use higher port numbers on this device instead. The target port does not have this restriction. This app does not allow you to enter ranges of ports.

Port Forwarder APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Port Forwarder APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4e9eea7d922e157e41d92d04e47879c0.
