The program works by automating the process for you. So whether you don't understand how to forward ports, or your simply looking for an easier way to forward ports then this program is for you.
Its port forwarding made simple.
The main interface of the program is small and clean. Giving options of seeing what is going to be forwarded to the router and how many entries and ports it will use in the process. You have the ability to save your list and send it to another user of the program. An example would be, lets say you have a family member who lives far from you and doesn't really understand port forwarding, so instead of spending a lot of time over the phone walking them through it you can simply have them use the program and have them load the list and update their router, then your all done. Now that's a time saver.
The program has a large database of known ports for over 700+ games and programs, so finding the port you need is made a little easier.
The program will also remember custom applications you put in, so you don't have to reenter them. The program remembers the last IP address you use to forward to, this helps not having to set it every time you load new ports!
The program has many extra tools, such as a tool to set your IP to static or back to DHCP. When port forwarding the router forwards to an IP address. When DHCP is enabled your IP address can change and thus breaking the port forwarding. By setting your IP to static it never changes. I added this tool to make setting a static IP as easy as possible for people instead of manually doing it on there systems (Which if a person has never done it before can be a little intimidating). The Program also makes adding the ports to the windows firewall as easy as a few clicks! Once you have your ports forwarded you can then test to see if they can be accessed right from with in the program using the built in port tester.
Changelog:
GUI code fixes.
Added a new right click menu option to the rule list in the main window
of the program. "Update All With Current Local IP" will allow a user to
update all the rules in the list with their current local IP. This is
useful for the people who use the portable version with thumb drives and
on jobs and the local IP is different on each machine they run it on.
Also for users who haven't ran the program for a while and their local
IP is different. Before the user had to click on each rule to update the
IP. Now they can do it with one click.
Major code improvements.
Updated the log text to be easier to read.
Program is now compatible with DEP, and should stop the program from
crashing when DEP is enabled on the system.
Changed the search router list button from an icon to text. This will
help new users see the search option better.
