Software Update: Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.7

In order for certain programs to work properly, such as a BitTorrent client or an online game, it is sometimes necessary to open the correct ports on the router or to point to the correct computer on the network. However, not every router is equally easy to configure and that is something Simple Port Forwarding can help with. All that needs to be done is select the right router from a list of almost 1100 supported choose types, specify the router’s username and password, and finally which application to add. The program then makes the appropriate adjustments to the router’s configuration. Version 2.7.7 was released on Sunday and because this is the first time that the program has been featured in the Meuktracker, we go a little further back in the changelog:

Changes in version 2.7.7
