Port Forwarding for Origin

Here is a list of the ports that need to be forwarded for Origin:

Origin - PC

• TCP: 1024-1124, 3216, 9960-9969, 18000, 18060, 18120, 27900, 28910, 29900
• UDP: 1024-1124, 18000, 29900

You may need to forward ports in your router when you use Origin. A port forward allows incoming connection requests from the internet to go straight to Origin.

By default routers do not allow incoming network requests. By forwarding ports you can work around this limitation.

Before forwarding a port make sure that you know these things:

• The IP address of your router.
• Your computer's IP address.
• The list of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.

The easiest way to locate your router's IP address is to run our free Router Detector utility. It's a part of the Network Utilities suite of tools and it's completely free to use.

If you do not want to run the software, you can follow our Find Your Router IP Address guide.

The easiest way to forward your ports is to use our Network Utilities software. Our Network Utilities software allows you to add port forwards and also remove them when you no longer need them to maximize your network security.

You can also choose to set up port forwards manually. The step-by-step process for forwarding a port is:

• Log in to your router.
• Locate the section in your router that deals with port forwarding.
• Type the IP address of your computer into the correct box in your router.
• Put the TCP and UDP ports for Origin in the corresponding boxes in your router.

You probably will need to reboot your router for the changes to take effect.
