OpenSourcerer 1435 Posted ... The AirVPN server acts as a router similar to your router at home. It utilizes NAT.Simplified, NAT allows different devices/clients attached to the same network to use one shared IP address. Every connection attempt to this IP will end up being sent to the router and not to the computers behind it. You forward a port so that the router receiving connections to some port will pass it on, or forward, to the computer actually accepting the connection. Since P2P is based on clients talking to each other instead of talking to a central server, forwarding a port is key. Without it, P2P functionality is limited. 1 foxmulder reacted to this Quote Hide OpenSourcerer's signature Hide all signatures NOT AN AIRVPN TEAM MEMBER. USE TICKETS FOR PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT.

foxmulder 43 Posted ... Yes, if you enable port forwarding, more peers can connect to you, which leads to better download / upload speeds. The whole bittorrent protocol would not work, if noone would forward any ports, because noone could connect to each other. Regards Fox Quote Share this post Link to post
