Websocket forwarding?
I have an old (really old, RBR10) mesh router, and I'm trying to use an app which prefers to use websockets. Does port forwarding allow this? If so, how do I configure it?

Websockets (as the name suggests) are built on browser protocols. They generally just use port 80 (unencrypted http) or port 443 (encrypted https). Port forwarding is NOT likely to be the appropriate solution.
Can you give more details on the app you are trying to use, and what problem you are seeing? Is there any documentation for the app that suggests that port forwarding is needed?
