How to Forward/Open a Port

Step: 1

You need to have a software called Port Forward, click here to download it. Port Forward is trial software which will help us to bypass Windows firewall.

Step: 2

Login to your modem setting area, or modem panel. At my case my modem is PTCL, and panel URI is 192.168.10.1
After login, check your WAN Info and confirm it, which WAN Interface is connected, that assigned an IP to your computer.

Step: 3

Now go to Advanced Setup > NAT > Virtual Servers. Now you have to ADD a Virtual Server, Click on ADD

Step: 4

Now choose the WAN Use Interface which was connected in Step 2. 

You can Select a Service or you can put a Custom Service name. Keep the following setting.

• Custom Service = TestingPort
• Status = Enable
• External Port Start = 27051
• External Port End = 27051
• Protocol = TCP/UDP
• Internal Port Start = 27051
• Internal Port End = 27051

But, wait what about the Server IP Address: ?, We have to find it manually there are 2 ways to find it.

First: Open CMD and type ipconfig and hit ENTER

Under your network connection, IPV4 is your local machine IP address.

Second: Open your Network Properties. And you will find your IPV4 address there as well. I think the second one is more easy and accurate.

Now enter this IP Address into the Server IP Address, and click Apply/Save.

And that's all you did it.

Step: 5

Let's go and verify it. First, you have to verify it using PortForward Software that you download in Step 1.

Once you have checked your port using PortForward and you got the result OPEN, its mean your Port is available to the public on the internet, so they can access your port using the public IP address and Port. You can check your port on various sites here I'm checking it with https://portchecker.co
