    Port forwarding

    You can forward port 80 and 443 to Ant Media Server, so you don’t have to use ports.

    You can use following iptables commands

    sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 5080
sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 5443

    To make it permanent, edit 

    vi /etc/ufw/before.rules

    In the beginning of the file, find

    *filter

    Add above

    *nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
-A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 5080
-A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 5443
COMMIT

    Restart ufw firewall
