Port triggering

Okay kiddo, let me explain port triggering. First, do you know what a port is? It's like a door to a computer or device that lets information in or out.

Now imagine you have a special door in your house that only opens when your friend comes over. This is like port triggering.

When you want to use a specific program or application on your computer, it needs to communicate with other devices or computers over the internet. Port triggering is like opening a special door in your computer that only opens when the program needs to send or receive information through a specific port.

It's like having a secret knock on a door that lets you in, and only opens when you knock in the right way.

So, when you use a program for the first time, you set up a trigger that tells your computer to open the right door (port) for that program. Then, when you use that program again, your computer remembers the trigger and opens that same door automatically.

This helps make sure that your computer is always safe from outside intruders, while still letting you use the applications you need to.
