FAQ’s
Does port forwarding help in gaming?
Port forwarding is a common practice in gaming that makes your console or PC easy to access for other players on the internet. By opening up ports, you can enjoy improved connection speed, shorter wait times for joining games, and smoother gameplay.
What IP do I use for port forwarding?
To use port forwarding, you must first set a static internal IP address (ipv4) for your device. By default your device ipv4 address is automatically dynamic instead of static, meaning it constantly changes and port forwarding won’t be able to identify your device within your home network.
Does port forwarding affect other devices?
Port forwarding will not interfere with the network connection or communication of any other devices on the same internet connection. Port forwarding only affects the host device and allows you to create a direct line of communication with external servers.
