Port Forwarding PC

[MingLee420]

Was playing call of duty few hours ago and took so long to find a game and said i had a moderate nat type so i entered specific ports but my router doesn't let me put a range of ports and i wouldve had to enter ports 50 times by 1 increment but other tp-link users have the same issue. Will putting my ipv4 address as host ip for dmz be able to open ports automatically for me?

Yes, a DMZ effectively forwards ALL ports to the destination but be absolutely sure the firewall is turned on for that PC as any open ports on that PC will be accessible from the Internet.

Easiest way is to make sure that PC is set as a Public network rather than Private.  Off the top of my head I can't remember where you do that, I always end up going round in circles trying to find it.

Of course you also then have to hope launching the game tells the firewall it wants the ports opening, or you'd have to find a way to open them in the firewall manually which I've never tried.
