Hello!

 

I have Fortigate 60E and I want to forward some services and devices to internet. For example IP cameras to watch them in Android app. I have 7 cameras and I want forward all of them at ports 65001-65007. Fortigate let me forward only one camera at port 80. Same situation with Remote Deskpot Services. I don't want to forward it at default port and I need more than one RDP forwarded.

 

Greetings!

    You will need to specific a different outside port(s) for each VIP you want to connect to.

     

    e.g. VIP-to-camera1 - 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.1.30 TCP: 8080 -->80

    e.g. VIP-to-camera2 - 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.1.31 TCP: 8081 -->80

    e.g. VIP-to-camera3 - 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.1.32 TCP: 8082 -->80

    e.g. VIP-to-camera4 - 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.1.33 TCP: 8083 -->80

     

    ...and so on.  Adjust for any security measures accordingly.  Personally, I rather not have RDP ports exposed so openly.
