How to set up port forwarding for multiple ports
Why would I set up port forwarding for multiple ports? Port forwarding is
a feature that forwards inbound traffic from the Internet on a specific port to

popular peer-to-peer file sharing application BitTorrent uses port 6881 by
default If that port is busy, the requesting BitTorrent client tries the next port
in sequence The most common configuration for home routers with a single
BitTorrent computer is to set up port forwarding using a range of ports starting
with 6881 and ending with port 6889
