A updated Port Forwarding Tutorial

[Headcrab Zombie]

Blockland does not support IPv6, and I'm stumped because my router uses it by default.

I have no doubts that your modem's WAN link uses IPv6 by default, especially if it was given to you by your ISP. But i doubt the LAN side of the router uses it, especially on a consumer level device.

Either way, IPv6 or IPv4, the process is going to be the same, just different IP formats

does anybody know if it's possible to bypass port forwarding?
ie, if i plug into the router with an Ethernet cord i'm guessing i'll still need the forward the ports?

Plug straight into a modem, or use UPnP

Now I feel like stuff for not seeing it, thanks.

I thought that they started disabling UPnP by default because it was a huge security risk, is it really that bad?

Also I found out that the true Model of the Router is the Gateway AC1750 but portforward.com doesn't have that model covered.

I think I was reading somewhere that it just lets viruses open your ports for them to have more access
but you would need the virus for UPnP to be hurting you
