There was a time, you needed to enable port forwarding if you were planning to make a service publicly available for the internet. Isn't that great? Using the concept of port forwarding, you can now watch your video surveillance cameras, residing on your local home network, from everywhere in the world using a simple username and password. Boom 💥!

Port Forwarding? Hell no!
