With Remote Procedure Call (RPC), you can build distributed systems where one program can call a subroutine on another machine without needing to know that it is remote. This makes it easier to create complex, interconnected applications. This guide explains how to port forward the Remote Procedure Call.

Requirements to Port Forward Remote Procedure Call

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

Downloaded and installed the Remote Procedure Call server.
The IP address of your router.
IP address of your gaming device.

TCP and UDP ports of Remote Procedure Call for your device as mentioned in the section below.

Step-by-step guide on how to port forward Remote Procedure Call

Now that you have the above details noted down, you can move to the next stage of Remote Procedure Call 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 the Remote Procedure Call server in the boxes in your router. The default Remote Procedure Call port number is 135. 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 a Remote Procedure Call 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’.

Remote Procedure Call ports needed to run

How to open ports behind CGNAT

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.

A secure 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 Remote Procedure Call 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 eliminate all these problems 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.
