Topic: [TUTORIAL]How to forward a port on Windows

I wrote this tutorial, because of the increasing number of support topics about problems with server-registering.


A tutorial on how to manually forwarding a port in your browser can be found here. This way is faster, but it's different for all routers.
You need to forward at least one port to create a working online server for teeworlds.

The probably easiest way to forward a port on Windows is to use the program Simple Port Forwarding, which you can download here.
Install it and then run it.
You should now see this two screens: http://i.solidfiles.net/dd07f.png

Close the right one and start to configure the left one:

  • Choose your Router

  • Add the router's Username and password (If you don't know this, ask your parents.)

  • Add an entry:

    • Press the '+' - Button http://i.solidfiles.net/13f0d.png

    • Press 'Add Custom'

    • Add some informations and the port you want to forward. Important: to create Teeworlds Servers, you have to forward the ports on UDP.
      It should now look like this:

    • Press 'Add'

  • You have now added one 'rule'. You should see it in the main screen.

  • Press 'Update Router' to forward the port.

  • Something like this should appear:

    Wait until it is finished.

  • When no error messages appear, you have now succesfully forwarded a port!


You can test your forwarded port with this software:  PFPortCheck Program
