Configure A Proxy Server; Configure Port Forwarding - Seagate SRN21C User Manual

Configure a proxy server

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between computers and the Internet. It allows the
computers on your network to make indirect network connections to other network services.
Using a proxy server:
• Speeds up Internet surfing
• Hides the IP address of a computer so that you can surf anonymously
• Bypasses security restrictions and filters to access blocked websites easily
1. Open the Device Manager.
2. Click Show advanced settings, and then click Network.
3. On the Proxy tab, select Proxy server in the drop-down menu.
4. Enter the proxy server address and the name and password if authentication is required.
5. Click Apply.

Configure port forwarding

Port forwarding makes your computer on your network accessible to computers on the
Internet, even though your computers are behind a router. Automatic port forwarding is
enabled by default, and the port numbers are the same for your Personal Cloud 2-Bay and
router ports.
If you need to change the router port number for services, confirm that the ports are available
on your router. Additionally, you must confirm that your router is compatible with
UPnP-IGD/NAT-PMP protocols. See your router's user manual for details.
1. Open the Device Manager.
2. Click Show advanced settings, and then click Network.
3. On the Port Forwarding tab, move the cursor over the service until the Edit button
appears on the right.
4. Click Edit, and then click Enable.
