The following ports need to be forwarded for Frequency:
Frequency - PC
- TCP: 10070, 10080
- UDP: 10070
Setting Up a Port Forward for Frequency
You might need to forward some ports in your router when you use Frequency. A port forward allows incoming connection requests from the internet to go straight to Frequency.
Routers generally do not allow incoming connection requests from the internet. By forwarding ports you can work around this limitation.
Remember to Do These Things Before You Forward a Port
Before forwarding a port make sure that you know these things:
- The IP address of your router.
- Your computer's internal IP address.
- The TCP and UDP ports that need to be forwarded.

Setting Up a Port Forward for Frequency
A smart way to forward your ports is to use Network Utilities. 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.
Another option is to go through the process of forwarding ports one step at a time. The step-by-step process for forwarding a port is:
- Log in to your router.
- Look for the port forwarding section in your router.
- Type your computer's IP address into the correct box in your router.
- Put the TCP and UDP ports for Frequency in the corresponding boxes in your router.
Usually you have to reboot your router in order to save the changes.
