With a VPN connection in your GL-inet router, it is possible to forward ports to devices behind the VPN. Do note that it is recommended you use the Public IPv4 add-on for this. It is also highly recommended you give the device you want to forward ports to a static IP address in your router first.
Port forwarding is possible with both WireGuard and OpenVPN. If you are not using the Public IPv4 add-on, you will first need to open the port you want to use.
For OpenVPN connections, you can do so here.
For WireGuard connections, you can do so here.
You do not need to open port through our website if you are using the Public IPv4 add-on.
