Get involved in strategy thinking and critical thinking with Eclipse, Lautapelit.fi’s game that was released in 2014. Plus, you can open ports on a router to continue playing Eclipse without interruptions or stuttering. This guide explains how you can port forward Eclipse in a few minutes. 

Requirements to Port Forward Eclipse

Just before you begin with the process of port forwarding, make sure you have the following things:

• Downloaded and installed the Eclipse server software package hosted here.
• The IP address of your router.
• IP address of your gaming device.
• TCP and UDP ports of Eclipse for your gaming device as mentioned in the section below.

How to port forward Eclipse

Now that you have the above details noted down, you can move to the next stage of Eclipse port forwarding:

• On your web browser address bar, type your router’s IP Address/Default Gateway.
• Log in with your router’s credentials (username and password) to view your router’s firmware settings.
• Navigate to the port forwarding section of your router.
• Click on Port Forwarding.
• Enter the IP address of your gaming device in your router in the correct box.
• Put the TCP and UDP ports of Eclipse Server in the boxes in your router. The default Eclipse port number is 25565. And then click the apply button.
• And you’re done. Restart your router to let the changes take effect.
• Once your changes take effect, now you can host an Eclipse server and let your friends connect to it as well. To let them connect to it, you need to provide them the hostname you are using, along with the port number. For example, ‘hostname.domain.com:25565’.

Eclipse ports needed to run the game

To play Eclipse online and create a server without any interruptions, you’ll have to allow access to certain ports on your firewall. The default Eclipse ports are:

TCP:	3074
UDP:	88

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
