Windows 10: Help me to Forward Port in Windows 20H2

Hello I have been trying to forward my ports for my bit torrent clients but an unsuccessful to do so. Since I am not that technical so at times it is hard for me to follow the guides online. I mean I have googled and read many tutorials online and followed all the steps and it still does not work for me. I am attaching a pic of my router so that some can guide me how to forward my ports in easy basic language please.





I am using Windows 20H2 as we speak. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, stay blessed and take care

Help with port forwarding!

Just for clarification: Port forwarding takes a packet that is addressed to your external (public) IP address and forwards if to an internal (private) IP address


First step:

Go to What's My IP Address? Networking Tools & More

Your External (public) IP address will be shown at the top of the page.

This is the IP address that other users on the internet will use to connect to you.

Second step:

Find your Internal (private) IP address.

This is the IP address of the Ethernet card in your PC

This IP address MUST be in one of the following ranges to be guarenteed to work:

10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

Third step:

Open up the admin application for your router and look for port forwarding/private servers option.

The screen will have a source port number (tcp and udp) and will also have a destination IP address and port.

Example:

Your PC has a private IP of 192.168.0.2 and your run a game server that uses ports 2345 and 8977

In admin screen source ports will be 2345 and 8977 (an entry for each port will be needed)

Destination will be 192.168.0.2 port 2345 and 192.168.0.2 port 8977

* You MIGHT have to enable that in Windows too (EnableIPForward) but, try that for now...
