Questions regarding port forwarding section of server hosting
I have a screenshot of my router's port forwarding options. Theres just a couple that I am not sure what you input or choose. My main use of this is to have a single friend join my Teamspeak 6 self-hosted and use voip/screenshare.
My main questions are regarding #'s 2, 3, and 4 in the shown picture.
Heres a picture of the drop-down options for # 2 and 3

Does it matter which drop menu option I choose?

Is source IP to limit who can actually connect/send me things? Is this my friend's IP address? If I leave it blank (as its not required) does that opt-in to everyone being allowed to connect? Whats the safest option here?
