2. Can port forwarding slow down your network?
3. Can Port forwarding crash your network?
4. Does port forwarding take time before it activates?

What risks does it have?

Re: [Question]Port Forwarding - Exxious - 02.05.2011

Basicly it's yes and also no.

Yes, because if you forward the port to your PC and an application is sitting on your PC listening with that port then you have to trust that that application is written well and has no exploits. However, there are always software bugs and instances of such exploits is not uncommon.

No, because if you forward a port to your PC and the application isn’t open then the port is not open on your PC.
Or if the application is open on your PC and listening on that port and it’s a well written application then there’s nothing a hacker can do to abuse the port.
