My router's admin page doesn't have a port-forwarding option!

[Isaac Fox]

As most of you know, port-forwarding is required to host a working Blockland server, but my router's admin page doesn't have an option where you can port-forward. What do I do?

My router used to be BT, where my servers ran perfectly, but my parents had to replace it with loving Plusnet.

Sometimes routers won't have a port forward option and instead have a "services" and "firewall" pairing.

You have to set up the "Blockland" service which lists ports and whether tcp/udp. Then you put the service into the firewall, listing the hosting internal IP on incoming connections.

What is the model of your router?

Is it okay if I ask how to do all this?

Does your router page have the "services" and "firewall" pages?

Does your router page have the "services" and "firewall" pages?

I can only see "firewall". Maybe "services" is named differently?

If you go into firewall what do you see?

Check if http://portforward.com has your router.

If you go into firewall what do you see?

I see 3 checkboxes. Each one says;

BlockAll

Use this Security Level to block all traffic from and to the Internet. Game and Application sharing is not allowed by the firewall.   

Standard

Use this Security Level to allow all outgoing connections and block all incoming traffic. Game and Application sharing is allowed by the firewall.   

Disabled

Disable the firewall. All traffic is allowed to pass through your gateway. Game and Application sharing is allowed by the firewall.

Standard is checked.
