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.
Lugnut:
What is the model of your router?

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