I wanted to release a few ports via my Fritz Box router for my PlayStation and the protocol specified is TCP and UDP ports, what do I have to specify as an application for the respective ports? FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, eMule, MS Remote Desktop and other applications are available
Preferably none at all. Port sharing in the Fritz Box allows virtually all external computers to establish an incoming connection - and in case of doubt this can make the home network vulnerable.
The Fritz Box should automatically allow all connections established from the inside - so communication from the outside is also possible without tearing gaps in the firewall
If you want to do it anyway, specify another application and then the ports
What does the Playstation need port sharing for? You should only set up port sharing if you know exactly what you are doing. Port sharing means that devices in the home network are no longer protected by the firewall. This is only necessary if connections are to be established from the Internet into the home network. As a rule, however, the connections are established from the home network to the Internet. No port releases are required for this.
Ok, thank you, the problem is that my PlayStation often doesn't connect to the internet by itself and I wanted to solve that
So even if I only release the port for the PS4, is the network 'permitted' for outsiders?
