PP port forwarding help

[globemaster27]

Hello everybody..

So i finally got PP and a usb dongle.. Im loving it!

i get nice aircraft on my screen, great range and stuff. but now i want to become a ground station. For that i have to port forward..

Big headache for me the last days. So after consulting some people after failing port forwarding 9742, a guy told me that it is impossible.

The reason for that is that i might be routing through 2 routers without knowing it. And i unfortunately dont have access to that second router (apartment internet for all thingy)


So i surfed abit around, and now have a VPN service. But that does not let me port forward either.

Is there anybody that could assist me? Teamviewer?

Thanks Timmy

Welcome Timmy

Are you sharing someone else's router using WiFi?

Hi anmer

No i am actually not, now im running it through the "wire" from the wall. the thing is i live at this block where we all have internet connection, trhough the internet port in the walls.

However nothing has seemed to work, i even had a nice friendly guy called Gerald take a look at it with teamviewer.

Thanks.

Unless you can access the router, I don't think you'll get port forwarding.  But I could be wrong.

Anmer is right. You need to access the router, unless they have left a default password in it you are stumped.

Which VPN are you using? Might be possible according to the internet to forward through the router using VPN but it looks complicated 

[globemaster27]

Just as i thought... :/ i use AirVPN and have forwarded a port on their VPN tunnel, but this does not seem to work either..

Although they say it should.....

So my best option would be to change ISP?

[Anmer]

Have you configured PP for port forwarding?

Then please don't hijack our posts.

This is a self-help forum, not a private PP club.

I don't see this as hijacking a post, I see it as an offer of help and I don't have a problem with satcom withholding details of development work.

satcom could have PM'd or made contact by other means, but then we wouldn't have known he (and by extension the PP team) were following this thread and that a solution might be available.

just my two-penneth...
