# Port Forwarding

Port forwarding allows forwarding a port from the server to a connected user this can be done in the users settings. Port forwarding can be enabled for a user at any time including while the user is connected. The changes to port forwarding will happen immediately and don't require the user to reconnect or the server to be restarted. Multiple ports can be forwarded using a comma separated list. Below are some examples of port forwarding options.
