Quickly and Safely Open Ports Using PureVPN

Opening a port shouldn’t be complicated. 

How to Open Ports behind CGNAT

What if your ISP performs CGNAT? Most ISPs perform CGNAT (Carrier-grade Network Address Translation) to conserve bandwidth and assign a single IP address to multiple users connected to the same internet network. However, CGNAT makes it difficult for you to open ports on the router. 

To get around the CGNAT issue, you can use the Port Forwarding add-on to bypass this problem and port forward routers without hassle. 

Here’s more information on how to use PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on and bypass CGNAT in a few clicks.

PureVPN’s Port Forwarding Add-on

A secure way to open all ports

To most people, port forwarding is quite a demanding task. For starters, every router has a different console, which often makes it challenging to navigate to specific settings.

Secondly, you won’t always be able to open ports on your router if your ISP restricts the ports. Yes, you heard that right! ISPs are notorious for blocking ports due to security reasons. If ISP isn’t the reason behind a blocked port, it could be your operating system’s firewall.

Well, you can eliminate all these problems and enjoy smooth online gaming on all your desired systems with PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on. Through the Port Forwarding add-on, you can allow all ports, disallow all ports, and allow specific ports.

How to Set up Port Forwarding in a Router

First, you’ll want to open your router settings on your computer or tablet. This may be done in a browser, or you may need to download and install a particular software program for your specific router model.

Next, you’ll want to find the section in your router settings that deals with port forwarding. Depending on your router model and settings, this section may be called “Port Forwarding,” “NAT Firewall,” “Virtual Servers,” or something else entirely.

Once you’ve located this section, you’ll need to enter specific information about your network. This will likely include your router’s IP address (usually listed somewhere in the router settings), a port number you want to open for your device, and the IP address of your device (which can be found by logging into your device’s router settings).

Finally, be sure to save any changes you’ve made and then restart your router. This will ensure that the new settings take effect and allow your device to connect through the port you just opened.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does port forwarding help gaming?

Port forwarding, sometimes called port mapping, is a method of getting your computer to receive data packets through the router by having the router forward those packets to your computer. It can also be used for gaming, webcams, and file transfers. Port forwarding can help improve performance in some cases but not always significantly.
