# natman

### natman forwards external public ports to internal ports without router access.

*It's a [Network Address Translation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation) Management tool built on node.js*

## Installation

     npm install natman -g



## Usage

     natman open  



**Open internal port 8000 to the world**

     natman open 8000

*Note: If no requested public port is specified, public port will be auto-assigned*

**Open internal port 8000 to the world on port 9000**

    natman open 8000 9000

*Note: If the requested public port is not available, one will be auto-assigned*

## Built in services

For convenience, Natman comes with a configurable list of built in services. You can customize this list by modifying the [natman.json](https://github.com/Marak/natman/blob/master/config/natman.json) file.

Simple type: `natman open  `.

     natman open ssh

     natman open http

     natman open https

     natman open ftp

## Specify Network Gateway

Natman attempts to guess which network to use. If it guesses wrong, use the `-g` flag to specify a gateway.

**Example:**

     natman open ssh -g 192.168.10.1

## Thanks
