    Port forwarding explained in 9 mins. It’s been a mystery for 40 yrs. Great explanation.
  • @nghiaduy6044
    Love the fact that not only you explain the terms " Port Forwarding " , you actually take a step further and talk about what a port actually is , and not assuming that all people have already known about it ! Please continue with the good work !
  • @AntuNeelesh

  • @thomasguo2250
    The best video about port forwarding. It put hard technical terms into simple worlds. Thank you for the wonderful video.
  • @awallaustin
    I have watched ~10 of your videos and they're incredibly clear. You have a skill in breaking down the complex for the rest of us!
  • @aakashjana6225
    Well someone said "If you can't explain it to an 8 year old you probably don't understand it completely yourself". This explanation is probably that good. Loved it, wonderful analogy.

    I learnt more stuff about port forwarding in 9 mins than in my 3 hour class on port forwarding. You have a natural art of teaching well. I love your videos man. I can watch em all day long. Its just the way you teach it. Thank you for putting these informative and important stuff on YT and making them as simple as humanly possible!
  • @madezra64
    I can't stop watching these. Each one is something I already knew BUT it was refreshing, accurate and I learned that someone on YouTube knows what they are doing in explaining shit.
  • @seanc.5310
    I worked in IT for years and still love the animations and very clear explanations on your channel! The way I learned most of this in textbooks was not as clear
  • @df4250
    I just wish you were around in the earlier days of the internet. Your videos are nothing short of brilliant!!
  • @ivansokolov9103
    Dude, for visual learners these videos are simply amazing. Thank you.
  • @itgeek4446
    I can't get over how simple this was, yet how complicated everyone else made this!!! You rock!!!!!
  • If there's #1 tutorial here in youtube about explanation of port forwarding, it could be this. Thanks for your time and effort on doing these.
  • @chrishuston4445

    in the marine corp we call a video like this breaking it down Barney style. Barney meaning the big purple dinosaur. Very good video, you break down confusing topics very well.

    I’m taking a paid course and I’m wondering as to why the paid course can’t make it this easy to understand? Thank you for explaining!

    I have been unlucky enough to view quite a number of "presentations" concerning Remote Desktop connections and related material (such as Port Forwarding), but all of them left me so frustrated and full of questions due to their scattered, vague, inconsistent and low-quality info that they had to offer. Your presentation was nothing short of a revelation to me concerning the issue of connecting two computers belonging to to different LANs using Remote Desktop. I cannot really tell whether it is the clarity of your language, your grasp of the subject, the calm tone of your voice, the carefully prepared audio and video material or the sum total of all these factors that make your presentations fully understandable, complete and easily applicable in the real world. You saved me tens of hours of trying to understand this issue in a hands-on manner and I cannot thank you enough for that. Thank you very much for this professional-grade upload which, I am sure, has been key in setting up Remote Desktop connections for many people out there. Two thumbs up for this top-notch work of yours.
