Set up Port Forwarding in the Razer Sila

Port forwarding allows a client device on your home network accessible to computers on the internet, even though the device(s) are behind a router and its firewall. It is important to set up a static IP address in the device that you are forwarding a port to. This ensures that your ports will remain open even after your device reboots.

Now that the device has a static IP address, we can open the ports to the internet.

  1. Point a web browser to the admin menu at “sila.razer.com” or “192.168.8.1”. Enter your admin credentials and click “Sign In”. We recommend using sila.razer.com as it offers better security.  

  2. Select LAN IP > DHCP/DNS Reservations.  

  3. Under Connected Devices” find the device that you wish to open ports to and check “Select”.  

  4. Click on “Add DHCP/DNS Reservations”.  

  5. Open your Razer Sila App.

  6. On the Status page, you should see a list of options running down the left sidebar. Choose the option labeled “Firewall / Port Forwarding”.  

  7. Select **** “Inbound Rules” and click on “Add New Rule”.  

  8. Create a name for this forward and put it in the “Service Name” box. The name is only used as a reminder and has no effect on the port forward.  

  9. In the Port box type the port number/s to forward.  

  10. From the “Protocol” box, select the protocol for the port/s that you want to forward.  

  11. Pick the “Allow”radio button.  

  12. Enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to in the “LAN Destination IP” box. This is either the IP address of a computer or of another device on your network.  

  13. Leave the “WAN Source IP” box blank.  

  14. Click the “Apply” button to save settings.  

Outbound traffic is allowed by default unless it matches a rule that prohibits the traffic. To block outbound network traffic on a specified TCP or UDP port number, create a rule using the Outbound Rule tab.

You may wish to test to see that the ports are open by using a free port checker tool such as https://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm
