An alternative to forwarding ports is to enable UPnP on a router. There are some security concerns with UPnP, but it's generally considered an easier way of setting up port forwarding if you need it for multiple different ports, say for example for a games console.

To set up UPnP on the Almond+ you need to log in to the web UI. This is done by accessing the IP address of your Almond+ in a web browser.
