How To Open Your Port 80 Behind A Firewall 8 Steps

Windows - Open Start, click the Settings gear, click Network & Internet, click View your network properties, and view the address next to “Default gateway”. Mac - Open the Apple menu, click System Preferences, click Network, click Advanced, click the TCP/IP tab, and look for the number to the right of “Router:”.

You can check your router’s manual or model number online to confirm the default password and username. If you set a custom username and password but forgot them, you’ll have to reset the router.

If you don’t see one of these or something similar, click Advanced or Advanced Settings and look for a Port Forwarding subsection.

Name or Description - Name your port forwarding rule. You might name this “Port 80 Web” or something similar. Type or Service Type - Select the TCP option here. Inbound or Start - Type the number “80” here. Private, Outbound, or End - Type the number “80” again here.

Not all routers will require you to enable the port; if you don’t see a checkbox or an “On” switch, your port 80 will be opened when you save your changes.
