VPS Forwarding — Use Proxy from Anywhere
Use your proxies from anywhere without changing your home router. A cloud server (a VPS) gets the customers' connections and passes them to your box.
You need: a VPS with Ubuntu and SSH access (root, or a user with sudo), and a plan that includes VPS forwarding (Premium or above). It takes about 10 minutes.
In short
Customer, then the VPS, then a tunnel to your box, then the mobile network. Customers only see the VPS address.
No router setup. It works when your router cannot forward ports. The VPS address stays the same, and your home IP stays hidden.
The panel checks the VPS, installs the relay and starts the tunnels for you. If a check fails, nothing is changed.
Which way is right for you?
There are three ways to reach your box from outside. This guide covers VPS forwarding.
| What to compare | Router | VPS forwarding | VPN |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you do | Forward ports on your home router | Connect a VPS to your box once | Add your box to a private VPN |
| Who can connect | Anyone with your IP or domain | Anyone with the VPS address | Only devices on that VPN |
| Needs router access | Yes | No | No |
| Works if your ISP shares one IP between customers | No | Yes | Yes |
| You pay for | Nothing extra | A VPS from any provider | Nothing extra (depends on the VPN) |
Router instead: Open your router for the box. VPN instead: in your panel open General Settings → System Setting and look for VPN tunnel setting (Tailscale, ZeroTier or OpenVPN).
Set up VPS forwarding
Step 1 of 7
Open your box panel. In the left menu click General Settings, then Forwarding Ports 1.
A guided setup has 4 parts: Security, Connect VPS, Services and Go live. Click Protect all in one step 2.
How ports work
Each shared service opens a port on the VPS. VPS port = box port + offset. With offset 0, the VPS port is the same as the box port. The Services step shows the exact address of each service before you go live.
| Example | Box port | Offset | VPS port |
|---|---|---|---|
| Box A, first modem | 4001 | 0 | 4001 |
| Box B, same VPS | 4001 | 1000 | 5001 |
If two services, or two boxes on one VPS, want the same port, they clash. Go live checks which ports are already used on the VPS. Change the offsets under Advanced to fix it.
Something not working?
| You see | What to do |
|---|---|
| "This function is available on higher plan license only" | VPS forwarding needs the Premium plan or above. See Manage your subscription. |
| You cannot continue the Security step | Set the logins first. A service that you switch off in Services does not need one. |
| Test connection fails | Check the address, SSH port, user and password or key. The VPS needs Ubuntu, and a root or sudo user. |
| A check in Go live fails | Nothing was changed. Read the failed line, fix it, then click Go live again. |
| Ports are not reachable from the internet | Open the ports from the Services step in your VPS provider's firewall. Add UDP 65001 for WireGuard, and UDP 32768 to 60999 for UDP Socks5. |
| A port is red in Monitoring | Click Run doctor. It lists what is wrong and changes nothing. |
| Two boxes clash on one VPS | Give each box a different port offset under Advanced. |
