Port Forwarding

Put non-web traffic on the fast path too

veilx Port Forwarding provides TCP/UDP port-level forwarding and acceleration, building low-latency, stable links for non-web workloads such as databases, APIs and game servers.

How it works

Three steps to connect the link

STEP 01

Create a forwarding rule

Enter your origin IP, port and protocol (TCP/UDP) in the console.

STEP 02

Connect the ingress

veilx assigns a forwarding ingress address and port — clients simply connect to it.

STEP 03

Optimize the link

Traffic is forwarded to your origin over an optimized backbone via the nearest node — low-latency and stable.

Key features

Port-level control

TCP/UDP forwarding

Supports both TCP and UDP, covering the vast majority of non-web protocols.

Optimized backbone

Traffic travels over veilx's optimized backbone, routing around congestion for lower latency.

Multiple ports and port ranges

A single rule can forward multiple ports or a port range.

Health checks

Periodically probe the origin; unhealthy nodes are removed and switched out automatically.

Connection-level monitoring

Connection count, bandwidth and latency are visible in real time.

Access control

Restrict sources by IP and geography for a safer forwarding ingress.

FAQ

About Port Forwarding

Yes. Both TCP and UDP can be forwarded, supporting UDP-based workloads like games and audio/video.
CDN accelerates HTTP(S) website traffic; Port Forwarding targets non-web TCP/UDP traffic such as databases, APIs and games.
The origin only needs to allow the relevant ports for veilx's forwarding nodes; no client software is required.
It depends on the geography and network conditions of your origin and visitors; the optimized backbone usually cuts latency noticeably for cross-region and congested paths.
