How to Configure Port Forwarding for a Virtual Machine?<\/b><\/h1>\n

Quick Overview<\/b><\/h2>\n

Port forwarding allows incoming traffic from a public port to be redirected to a specific port on your virtual machine. This is commonly used to make applications and services accessible from outside the network.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide explains how to configure port forwarding rules from the Stack Console panel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1: Open the Instances Section<\/b><\/h3>\n

Log in to your <\/span>AccuWeb.Cloud Stack Console<\/b> dashboard and click <\/span>Instances<\/b> from the left-side menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Instances page lists all virtual machines available in your account.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"AccuWeb.Cloud<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2: Open the Virtual Machine<\/b><\/h3>\n

Click the virtual machine for which you want to configure the port forwarding.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Virtual<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3: Open VM Settings<\/b><\/h3>\n

Click <\/span>VM Settings<\/b> from the top menu and then select <\/span>Port Forwarding<\/b> from the left-side panel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Open<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 4: Open Port Forwarding Settings<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Click <\/span>Manage<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Open<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 5: Open the Port Forwarding Tab<\/b><\/h3>\n

Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n

Port forwarding allows external traffic to reach services running inside your virtual machine. Review the configured rules regularly and keep only the required ports open.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
