Portfowarded! OMG (need testers!!)
Advanced Bot:
I used to have the same problem with this until I entered my ip address into the address bar. Then used my routers info, but apparently my new router doesn't need to port forward since it automatically does it, which is weird..
Altiris:
The port is just 28000. You no longer need to do 28000-2800XX (XX = Number of players).
Make sure you have a static IP and you edited your IPv4 properties in your network card.

Any Router should have UPnP already enabled, if it is just enable it in the Blockland Options.

I don't know why this myth is so prevalent. I've run a whole lot of Blockland servers off hardware servers and I've only ever seen them use 1 port each, it's considered extremely bad practice and completely pointless to listen on more than one except for the purpose of providing a different service on a different port. Most people forward a 7ish port buffer zone so if they for some reason restart their server multiple times very fast (before the port has a chance to close, they take like ~3 min after being disconnected from) the server can use the next port up for hosting off of.
