The Port Forwarding add-on makes opening a port relatively straightforward.
Are you struggling to open ports on your router because your ISP uses CGNAT? This is a common problem many face because ISPs often use CGNAT to save internet bandwidth and share the same IP address among multiple users on the same network.
But don’t worry; there’s a solution! The easiest way to bypass CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT) and configure port forwarding is by using a PureVPN port forwarding add-on. It’s a quick and easy way to solve this problem.

Port forwarding can be a headache. Not only do different routers have different user interfaces, making it hard to find the proper settings, but sometimes your ISP or firewall can block specific ports. But don’t worry; PureVPN’s port forwarding add-on has got you covered!
With this add-on, you can easily open all desired ports, block all ports, or even allow specific ports on all your devices, making the port forwarding process a breeze. If you try to open ports behind CGNAT, your IP address can be blacklisted because you are using the same IP address shared by multiple consumers on the same network.
Setting up port forwarding allows other players to connect to a hosted game on the host’s network. Without port forwarding, players cannot join the hosted game.
