Port forward

[KozoleJ]

I am trying to port forward port 1194 so I can host VPN on my old pc but there is a problem. Everything I have dried does not work with different port settings whit the firewall on the router but the port does not open. I gave up because my ISP clearly was blocking ports, but if I turn on PPTP on my Asus router port 1723 opens. Now i am confused my router can open ports but if I try to add a manual rule for 1194 nothing happens.

Some ISP routers have ports reserved for their own services.

 

Why not use a higher port number?

You'd have to try to find out.

But it should work, yes.

Is the VPN service active on your device when you port forward and check if it's open?
