PUREVPNPort ForwardingHow to Port Forward Vuze

Vuze is a popular BitTorrent Client used by millions of people all around the world. Users love it due to its lightweight footprint, meaning that it doesn’t consume heavy system resources. It has recently been rebranded to Vuze from Azureus making it simple to download, track and organize your torrents. It simply offers everything you would ever need in a torrent client and downloader.

To get the best downloading speeds on Vuze, you will first need to download the application on your preferred platform. You will then need to set the TCP and UDP ports in the program.

Requirements to Port Forward Vuze

Before you begin the process of port forwarding, make sure you have the following things:

  • Downloaded and installed Azureus/Vuze software package hosted here.
  • The IP address of your router.
  • IP address of your downloading computer.
  • TCP and UDP ports of Vuze for your downloading rig. Both of them can be defined by the users in the app.

Step Guide

Now that you have the above details noted down, you can move to the next stage of Vuze 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 the computer you use Vuze from in your router in the correct box.
  • Put the TCP and UDP ports of Vuze in the boxes in your router. Both the TCP and UDP ports are user-defined. And then click apply button.
  • And you’re done. Restart your router to let the changes take effect.

PureVPN’s Port Forwarding Add-on

Easy & Secured 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 difficult to navigate to specific settings.

Secondly, you won’t always be able to open Vuze 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, then perhaps it could be your operating system’s firewall.

Well, you can make all these problems go away 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.

Avoid limited downloading and uploading speeds on Vuze with PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on.

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.

In Conclusion

  • You can allow or disallow the desired ports on all your favorite devices
