+### Network Configuration
+
+Sovran_SystemsOS hosts public-facing services (Wordpress, Element/Element Calling, Nextcloud, BTCPayserver, Haven Relay, and Vaultwarden) that require inbound connections from the internet. To make these services accessible outside your local network, you must configure **port forwarding** on your home router.
+
+**Before deploying, ensure you have:**
+
+- Access to your router's administration interface (typically at `192.168.1.1` or `192.168.0.1`)
+- The ability to create port forwarding rules
+- The local/private IP address of the machine running Sovran_SystemsOS
+- The external public IP address of the machine running Sovran_SystemsOS
+
+**Required port forwards (depending on enabled features):**
+
+Forward each port to the **private IP address** of your Sovran_SystemsOS machine. Only forward ports for services you have enabled.
+
+> **Tip:** Assign a static IP or DHCP reservation to your Sovran_SystemsOS machine so the forwarding rules remain valid after reboots.
+
+> **Note:** If your ISP uses CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), standard port forwarding will not work. Contact your ISP to request a public IP address.
