port forwarding is usually done in the configuration of your router and you don't need any software other than a browser to access that.

try browsing to http://192.168.1.1/ log into your router's web interface and mess with the port forwarding there.

the first result is a website, portforward.com, that contains step by step guides for port forwarding on tons of consumer routers indexed alphabetically by manufacturer name and model  :welp:

scroll down, then when you find your router, click on the link and in the subsequent new page click on the "skip this advertisement" link at the top right.
