What is the Port forwarding on the Xiaomi router?

Port forwarding is a networking technique used by the Xiaomi Router to allow inbound connections from the internet to reach a specific device or service on a local network. 
For your reference, here are some details about the Port forwarding on the Xiaomi router:
1. Port forwarding allows you to remotely access devices, services, or applications behind a NAT (Network Address Translation) router. For example, you can access security cameras, file servers, or game servers from outside your local network;
2. Port forwarding can enhance security in certain situations. By directing specific traffic to designated ports, you can control and monitor which services are accessible from the outside. It enables you to limit potential security threats and vulnerabilities;
3. Port forwarding provides flexibility in configuring network services. You can specify which external ports correspond to which internal services. This customization allows traffic to be efficiently routed to specific devices or applications within the network;
4. In scenarios where efficient routing of network traffic is required, port forwarding can help optimize performance. Directing traffic to the appropriate internal devices reduces latency and ensures smoother communication between clients and servers.
Note:
Please be careful when implementing port forwarding, as it may expose network services to security risks if not configured properly. It is recommended to regularly check and update port forwarding configurations to maintain network security.
