Port Forwarding For NAT

[Gnarli 0]

I'm on a Verizon 4G connection so my NAT is closed by default, using AirVPN I was able to get my NAT to moderate. I'd like to get it to open, but I'm not understanding how the AirVPN port forwarding works. I need to forward 

• TCP: 80, 443, 13000, 13005, 13200, 14000-14001, 14008, 14020-14024
• UDP: 3075

Since ports are reserved and AirVPN generates ones that aren't, do I just enter the ports I need forwarded into the local port slot?

Exactly. And you connect to them via your.air.vpn.ip:port or via yourddnsname.airdns.org:port if you set a DDNS name when forwarding a port.

Did you get it to work mate? We have the exact same problem! I just didn't understand the last thing Giganerd wrote: That you have to connect them somehow? ☺

See, it sounds like you are having the same problem as a guy in another thread, and you are trying to play computer games, is that a safe assumption?  What Giga is talking about, is how you reach your LocalComputerRunningAService from the internet.  So if you are at your buddies house, and you need to talk to your home computer running AirVPN which is hosting a service listening on port 4000, and AirVPN has given your port 22000, which you have assigned to local port 4000, and your AirVPN IP is 199.19.94.62, then you would connect to your local port 4000, by entering 199.19.94.62:22000 from outside your Network.

 

But there's a completely different concern when you are the client, and the server is controlled by an outside entity, like Blizzard or Valve or whatever.  The reason you are given those TCP and UDP port numbers is because those are the ports that their servers are configured to listen to various services on.  Unless you can force AirVPNs servers to open up those specific ports for you on the AirVPN server end, you cannot accomplish what you are trying to accomplish. Even if you have them open locally while connected to AirVPN, you still can't make the RemoteGameServer talk to AirVPN server over those ports, to pass the communication on to the LocalGameClient.  The RemoteGameServer isn't programmed to start talking over port 22000 just because that's what AirVPN assigns you.

Okay thanks for the reply, really nice that someone answered me! It's really nice mate...

 

But since i can't open those ports, which is the reason i bought airVPN, i won't make another payment. 

 

Allthough this is the best VPN service i have tried for annomity
