# Port forwarding
If the PiKVM located on a local network needs to be made accessible from the Internet,
the easiest way to achieve this is a port forwarding on the router.
If you need to make PiKVM accessible from Internet,
the easiest way to achieve this by forwarding a port on the router.
In this case, an external (global) IP address must be assigned to the router.

* To configure port forwarding, refer to the documentation of the router.

* By default port `80` performs permanent forwarding to `443` for security reasons.

* It is strongly recommended to obtain a valid HTTPS certificate, for example via [Let's Encrypt](letsencrypt.md).
* A good practice is using a custom port number instead of `443` from the Internet side, for example `14438` to avoid common port scanners.
* If you still decide to use the `443` port number, you may have to forward port `80` to get a redirect for your convenience.

Remember that port forwarding is a powerful and convenient tool, but security depends entirely on the user.
In some cases, a VPN may be a more secure, but less convenient option (since it requires a VPN client on all devices that access PiKVM).
