Hey, I see you're having trouble setting up port forwarding without restarting your router. You mentioned using UPnP PortMapper and encountered some issues—those could come from your router or the Java environment. If you're looking for alternatives, there are other tools like PortMap or manual configuration via your router's admin panel that might work better. Let me know if you'd like more details!
UPnP offers the sole alternative besides setting up Port Forwarding on the router. You might try VPNing or using a proxy to bypass it, then route traffic through a server. Otherwise, if you can't reach the router's web interface, it’s likely you’re stuck. Consider checking your access instead.
I lost the router password and didn’t want to change it. But I managed to recall it. The issue is that the port checker keeps saying my ports are closed. I’m attempting to open them for SoftEther as described in the manual, but it’s not working. I tried this before on a router I rented from Cox, so I’m unsure what’s causing the problem. I’m currently using Comcast with a Linksys E2500.
If you're using a dual-nat setup, the forwarding must occur on the device that has the external IP assigned to it.
