Setting up port forwarding on your local network isn’t difficult for advanced users, but it can create all types of difficulties for novices.
Why You Should Avoid UPnP (Automatic Port Forwarding) You may also need to configure other firewalls on your network, including the Windows firewall, to allow the traffic.
