Forwarding Ports for Unreal Server
You might need to forward some ports in your router when you use Unreal Server. A port forward allows incoming connection requests from the internet to go straight to Unreal Server.
By default routers do not allow incoming network requests. By forwarding ports you can work around this limitation.
Before Forwarding a Port Checkoff This To Do List
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- Your router's internal IP address.
- The IP address of your computer.
- Each of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
