Help me to Forward Port in Windows 20H2

Hello I have been trying to forward my ports for my bit torrent clients but an unsuccessful to do so. Since I am not that technical so at times it is hard for me to follow the guides online. I mean I have googled and read many tutorials online and followed all the steps and it still does not work for me. I am attaching a pic of my router so that some can guide me how to forward my ports in easy basic language please.



I am using Windows 20H2 as we speak. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, stay blessed and take care

Hi there

the problem isn't generally with Windows since you just have say addressortnumber. e.g url:xxx where xxx is the portnumber -- for instance I use filezilla with sftp which requires port 21.

You need to check in the router settings --there's usually some type of routing / mapping / security settings where ports are set as open / closed / forwarded / swapped etc.

If you find you need a port which your isp has closed you need either to find an alternative or use "tunnelling" -- a bit beyond the scope of this post but you can google -- also look at puTTY if you have to do this.

You don't say which torrent your using many have an option were they will open ports for you using unpn. To do it manually your pc needs to have a fixed IP if your tell us were your having problems it would help but letting the torrent do it is simple

What torrent are you using as you may not need to forward port as it may do it for you

I am using utorrent and qbittorent both

First step is to log in to router, can you do this?

right click on windows button and click on Windows PowerShell then type:

ipconfig

and press enter

under default gateway copy IP address and paste into your web browser then press enter.
enter credentials to log into router, there you can forward ports however you like.
