Can’t port forward Ventrilo servers? You are not alone. This guide covers everything you need to know about port forwarding Ventrilo.

First, you’ll need to determine your computer’s IP address. You can do this by opening up a command prompt and typing in “ipconfig”. This will give you a list of all the devices that are currently connected to your network, and their corresponding IP addresses.

Once you have your computer’s IP address, you’ll need to open up your router’s configuration page. This can usually be done by typing in the router’s IP address into a web browser (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). Once you’re on the router’s configuration page, look for a section called “Port Forwarding” or “Virtual Servers”.

In this section, you’ll need to create a new rule for Ventrilo. The settings will vary depending on your router, but the basic information you’ll need is your computer’s IP address, the port number that Ventrilo is using (usually 3784), and the protocol (TCP or UDP).

Once you’ve created the rule, save your changes and restart your router. You should now be able to connect to Ventrilo from outside of your home network.

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 Lineage 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.
