What Is Port Forwarding
It is used to redirect the computer signal from remote computers on the Internet to the Lan network.
Therefore, in simple words, it is a feature to access the local area network machine from the Internet.
Basically your router forwards the particular port on the IP address for which it is configured.
Port forwarding Example:
Suppose you have an application inside your organization that works on the browser.
Somehow, you want to access it from outside of your organization.
You can forward port 80 or 443 to the application server from your router to access it from outside.
