# Port Forwarding
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Port Forwarding?
|
||||
|
||||
Port forwarding is a networking technique used to allow external devices or applications to communicate with a specific device or service within a private local network.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Port Forwarding is Necessary
|
||||
|
||||
We need to open the port where the game server is running to make sure that other players can connect to your game server.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Set a static IP
|
||||
|
||||
Set a static IP on the PC hosting the game server and copy it for later:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Windows 11](https://pureinfotech.com/set-static-ip-address-windows-11/)
|
||||
- [Windows 10](https://pureinfotech.com/set-static-ip-address-windows-10/)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Log into Your Router
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need to access your router's web interface at 192.168.1.1.
|
||||
You might need a username and a password to log in: refer to your router's manual for precise instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Find the Port Forwarding Section
|
||||
|
||||
Once logged in, navigate to the port forwarding section of your router's settings.
|
||||
This location may vary from router to router, but it's typically labeled as "Port Forwarding," "Port Mapping," or "Virtual Server."
|
||||
Refer to your router's manual for precise instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Add a Port Forwarding Rule
|
||||
|
||||
Now, you'll need to create a new port forwarding rule. Here's what you'll typically need to specify:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Service Name:** Choose a name for your port forwarding rule (e.g., "Fortnite Game Server").
|
||||
- **Port Number:** Enter 7777 for both the external and internal port.
|
||||
- **Protocol:** Select the UDP protocol.
|
||||
- **Internal IP Address:** Enter the static IP address you set earlier.
|
||||
- **Enable:** Make sure the port forwarding rule is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Save and Apply the Changes
|
||||
|
||||
After configuring the port forwarding rule, save your changes and apply them.
|
||||
This step may involve clicking a "Save" or "Apply" button on your router's web interface.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Try hosting a game!
