Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about PureVPN’s port forwarding here.
When should you use Port Forwarding?
Internet-connected devices can have up to 65,535 ports that can be open or accessed at any given time. Port forwarding enables you to directly connect to a device or service that requires open ports. This is important since routers and home/work/school networks likely have them completely blocked. So if you’re playing games, you won’t get the full experience. In the online gaming world, you will need to configure port forwarding on your router.
What happens when you forward ports?
Ports shouldn’t be opened freely as it will invite the wrong kind of traffic. This is why port forwarding exists: it helps you direct just the right traffic to just the right destination without the extra unnecessary frills. By forwarding ports across certain devices, you can use multiple computers on a single network and allow them to get the full untethered internet experience. For example, your Xbox One may have some ports forwarded so you can play a specific game. On the other hand, your work computer may be set up as an FTP server, so you’ll want to forward ports for that purpose.
Do I still need to forward the ports manually from my router?
No, that’s not necessary if you are subscribing to PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on.
Will port forwarding allow me to access my camera’s web server remotely?
Yes. With PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on you can easily access camera’s web server remotely.
Can I port forward VPN?
No, you cannot port-forward a VPN. A VPN is a tool that is used for virtual connection between your device and the Internet so an outsider can’t directly access it. In contrast, port forwarding is a technique used to open routes directly for others to your device.
What is the difference between VPN and port forwarding?
VPNs and port forwarding are useful tools, but they have distinct functions. VPNs are known for privacy and safety, while port forwarding is best for website hosting servers and using P2P programs. If you are unsure which technique to use or how to configure it correctly, you need to seek advice from your router’s manufacturer for assistance.
Does VPN block port forwarding?
Some VPN providers block port forwarding for security purposes as you are directly outsiders to access your device which opposes the purpose of VPN.
How do I know if my VPN port forwarding is working?
There is a lot of softwares available to check VPN port forwarding. However, if you are using Windows, simply open Command Prompt, insert netstat -a, and tap Enter. If you see LISTENING with the port to forwarded, it means your VPN port forwarding works.
Is Port Forwarding Dangerous?
If you forward a port but do not have a strong security system like 256-bit encryption or complex password, an attacker can access your device. Port forwarding can also be dangerous if you configured your router incorrectly.
