I have DDNS set up so that my router uses port forwarding of all HTTP and HTTPS web traffic to port 65001 on my target machine mypc-PC 192.168.1.3. I would like to know what is the best way to open the Windows Firewall to the proper ports on 192.168.1.3. In other words my web server is running on 192.168.1.3:65001 since it is a development server.

Thanks in advance....!!!

Name and Description: - Provide a name and description for the rule (e.g., "Allow HTTP on Port 65001"). - Click "Finish" to create the rule. After following these steps, incoming TCP traffic on port 65001 will be allowed through Windows Firewall to your web server at 192.168.1.3. Additionally, verify that your router's port forwarding settings are correctly configured to forward incoming HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the external DDNS address to port 65001 on your internal server at 192.168.1.3. If you are running other services on different ports, you can repeat the above steps for each port or create a rule that covers a range of ports if necessary. Feel free to test the connection from an external network to ensure that the traffic is successfully reaching your web server. Let me know if you need further assistance!
