Ten Forward for Linux

Control a NAT-PMP gateway

Overview

Ten Forward is a software designed for Linux users who want to control their NAT-PMP (Network Address Translation Port Mapping Protocol) gateways.

It helps you manage port forwarding through your internet gateway, which is useful for activities like running game servers from your local computer and making them available to other players online.

This tool lets you set up multiple port forwarding rules or mappings.

Each rule can be activated as needed, giving you flexibility when managing connections for different games or services.

For example, you can use Ten Forward to run local game servers for popular games such as Minecraft LAN, Mindustry, or Stardew Valley, and share your server with others over the internet.

Ten Forward works specifically with NAT-PMP enabled gateways.

It has been tested with ProtonVPN’s NAT-PMP feature, so it should work with any other gateways that support this protocol.

However, it is important to note that the software only supports Linux platforms and relies on the gateway having NAT-PMP enabled.

If your gateway does not support NAT-PMP, this tool will not function.

The software fits users who want a safe and technical solution for forwarding ports without complex setup.

It is especially helpful for gamers or anyone needing to open ports for peer-to-peer connections.

Keep in mind that because it is focused on NAT-PMP and Linux, users with other operating systems or gateway types might need to look for different options.

Overall, Ten Forward is a solid choice for Linux users looking to manage their NAT-PMP gateways and improve port forwarding for gaming or network use.
