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

2. Connect to a port-forwarding-supporting server.
3. Enable port forwarding in the app by going to the port forwarding tab.
4. Specify the port number to be forwarded, along with the IP address of the device to which it has to be forwarded.
5. Click Apply to save the changes.
