How to Enable World of Tanks Port Forwarding

You can enable port forwarding direct from your router, but in order to do that you’re going to need some extra information.

Before we start, make sure that you have the following close to hand:

  • Your router’s IP address
  • The IP address of your PC or console
  • The ports for World of Tanks. Those are in the list above

Now we can go ahead and forward the ports. The process for doing that is pretty easy:

The process for forwarding a port is generally:

  • Open a web browser on your PC or console, and paste your router’s IP address into the bar at the top
  • Now you’ll see your router’s settings. In here, you should see ‘port forwarding’ somewhere. Click on that
  • In the next menu, you’ll have to enter the info you collected earlier
  • First, paste your router’s IP address into the right box
  • And then copy your PC or console’s IP address into the other box
  • Then your router will need to know which ports to forward, so put copy those over from the list above
