[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:

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

  • 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
