How to Open Ports for Diablo IV Using Port Forwarding
The Diablo franchise is one of the most influential isometric role-playing games. It more or less wrote the book on how to make an engaging dungeon crawler that also has an enthralling storyline and brooding world.
Fans around the world, therefore, lost their collective minds when the fourth installment, aptly titled Diablo IV, was announced at Blizzcon 2019. One of the biggest shifts is the requirement for players to be online at all times. The reason for this is that, for the first time, the series is pushing hard to include MMO elements in the play experience.
This can pose a problem for longtime players that don’t exactly have the most stable internet connection. Thankfully there is a solution that can aid you when the game releases in the near-future.
Welcome to the world of port forwarding.
Ports Needed to run Diablo IV
The basic idea of port forwarding is that you configure your router to receive a connection it wouldn’t ordinarily. By default, you cannot tunnel (another term for port forwarding) as it poses a security risk. Despite this, if you want a faster connection to the Blizzard servers for Diablo IV, you should consider port forwarding.
So, how exactly do we do this? Read on to find out.

How to Forward Ports for Diablo IV
- First off, you need to find your IP address.
- On Windows, this can be done by opening the command prompt and inputting the “ipconfig” command.
For console players of Diablo IV, there is a different set of commands to follow. Since the next console generation is not out yet, we will assume you are playing on the XBOX One or Playstation 4.
- For XBOX One, go to System > Settings, then select Network > Network Settings and finally select Advanced Settings.
- On PS4 go to Settings, then select Network, and finally View Connection Status.
Once you have this information, and are certain of its accuracy, you can now proceed to port forward.
- Enter the IP address of your router via the URL box of your browser
- Access the router admin panel via entering your credentials
- Enter your static IP address into its box
- Next, configure your firewall to accept traffic through the required ports
- Enter the TCP and UDP port numbers of your gaming device (PC or console)
- Restart your router to confirm the changes
