You can work around this using Windows included Networking tool netsh as a port proxy. You can do that with Fiddler. With Fiddler script , you can many amazing things. Add this in CustomRules. DNS will resolve site. You should probably ask over at ServerFault for webserver configuration help, that's the most likely issue. Are you using the servers only for local development?
If so, you could put your Apache to listen to As with the other answers host file doesn't have port information but you can have a page that redirects biased upon the header like apache or IIS would do for name based virtual hosting. Check the header and redirect as needed. However I don't really see the value in this as you are reinventing the wheel. Apache supports port based virtual hosting and I assume that iis does.

This is because Windows Defender will likely detect changes to the hosts file as malicious and revert the changes. Once done, open Notepad: hit the Win key , type notepad , right-click Notepad in the results, and select Run as administrator. Once you have the hosts file open you'll see most default text is comments, those lines beginning with the pound sign.
Inserting a redirect into the hosts file is simple. Just enter the IP address of the desired server or host, leave a single space, and then enter the domain or hostname you want to point to that IP. Enter only one redirect per line. When redirecting a real website URL, you should include one redirect with the www and another without, to ensure both will be redirected to your desired IP. You can use the hosts file to redirect or block websites users try to visit. If the IP address of your company server is You could also use the hosts file to create shortcuts to websites or internal sites or services, such as your company site or the web-based interface of your router and other network components.
You can also use the hosts file as a way to perform content filtering and ad blocking. However, there are third-party lists of sites and domains. The MVPs site for instance has a list that blocks hundreds of sites and domains that host ADs, third-party cookies, adware, spyware, and hijackers. You could copy and paste the list into your hosts file or use their batch file to replace your hosts file for you. This list redirect these unwanted domains to an IP of all zeros. A word of caution: As discussed next, the hosts file can certainly be used for malicious purposes.
Beware, the hosts file can also be used maliciously. Adware, PUPs, viruses, and other malware could insert redirects to cause annoyance, perform phishing, and even hijack websites. To help prevent hijacking or unauthorized changes to the hosts file, consider making it read-only.
Can this be used to redirect traffic originating on the local machine and directed to a particular IP address to instead send it to a different IP? For example, I have an application that is hard-coded to seek data in an archive at IP x. Hope this makes sense….
Thanks for the quick and nice article. The double quotes in the firewall command appear unicode not ascii. My command line shell accepts both but makes the two names different. However, question: 1 Does this work with IPv6? So, do I need to forward the ports from 0.
Kinda confused about this. Hi, regarding the second question, have you resolved it yet? If it helps, my setup is a vpn and then trying to redirect to a virtualbox vm. Locally on the host server it works, but incoming traffic from vpn, is not connecting. Any suggestions? You cannot forward UDP port using netsh interface portproxy Is there any effective way to adjust Windows Firewall to whitelist IP addresses to the ports created with portproxy?
My WF rules seem to have no effect. Hi Could I redirect 80 or 53 to other server? Excellent article on the topic. But with some routers here KPN Experia box. Thanks so much for this amazing article! I got the necessary insight into the way port forwarding works in Windows. I appreciate it. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. You can also subscribe without commenting.

Please note that the local port number that you specified in listenport should not listened used by another service or process. Check that the port number is not used: netstat -na find "" Alternatively, you can check that the port is not listening locally using the PowerShell cmdlet Test-NetConnection : Test-NetConnection -ComputerName localhost -Port Also, you can use the Windows SSH tunnel to forward the local port to a remote server.
Make sure that your firewall Microsoft Windows Defender Firewall or a third-party firewall that are often included into an antivirus software allows incoming connections to the new port. Also, there were cases when in Windows Server R2 the port forwarding rules were reset after a server reboot. In this case, you need to check whether there is a periodic disconnection on the network interface, and whether the IP address changes when the OS boots it is better to use a static IP instead of dynamic DHCP.
As a workaround, I had to add a batch script to the Windows Task Scheduler with the netsh interface portproxy rules that run on the system startup. This forwarding scheme works only for TCP ports. Related Reading. January 10,
