Port Forwarding

[netstrider]

To be honest, nothing extra, i just opened the game up and started the server and now my friends can see me.
I thought i had already tried that, but clearly not.
So even though testing in command prompt and using porttracker websites, they all return closed, but the game sees them as open.
So the way i had set it up as shown in the screen shots above worked for this games specific port requirements.

I was going to say that the ports won't be open if the service is not running on the host.

Hi everybody

First time posting anything on a forum, but hopefully somebody can help. I'm on the Rain 5g network and found both Port Forward and Port Mapping in the router settings. I cannot seed at all on uTorrent but downloads are fine. I followed some tutorials and attached a screenshot of what I tried, but it makes no difference it seems.
As you can see I have decent download speeds.

Thanks, Meir

Check online using a port checker to see if the port is open.

Settings seem correct so the only thing could be that you are behind CG-NAT which won't make your port forward work, I believe

EDIT: See here. Unless something has changed, it seems they do use cgnat. https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/rain-lte-port-forward.1101096/

99% of mobile carriers use CG-NAT which means you wont be able to port forward.
Last time I used Rain, this was still true.

I have read about that, but why would they bother putting port forwarding on their router settings? Seems weird!

I have a telkom adsl line which I did the same settings on, and same story.

It's down to the ISP to support it, not the router manufacturers.
