Didn't know if they are the exact same ones as rift or not.
I haven't seen any direct communication on port forward/triggering info from staff or any users. I'd try asking Trion support.
All of them, obviously.
same here, i havent had an issue though, this game doesnt host anything from client, so it shouldent necissarily NEED ports openQuote:

Wouldn't be too concerned.Quote:

PC Client Ports are: 80, 443, 50000, 65000, 40000-41000.
i think you dont Host anything in the Game ... thats why Servers are there ... so u need no forwarding ...
Why would you need to open ports? Since I started PC gaming in '95 I have never needed to touch my port settings so why would we need to start now?
Some people game from their campus internet if they are at uni etc where admins love strict firewall protocols and block any and everything coming or going unless a specific reason is given to unblock..same for work places for those that want to get in a few min during a lunch break; although some ISP's do sometimes block certain ports aswell depending on where you are so you might need to tell them what ports you need unblocked for your connection.Quote:

You still need access to the router/modem to setup VPN and even then VPN is mostly for file access not so much as for gaming use (thou in terms of gaming say a virtual lan via the net there is hamachi and gameranger - latter for older games that don't have dedicated wan servers no more.)Quote:

On a side note: Gen when setting up portforward rules you can have one system in DMZ (will be exposed to the net if set on modem side). What I do is I have UPnP (there has been news that its a risk BUT only on older versions of firmware depending on your modem/router manufacturer) enabled for the consoles then have the gaming rig in DMZ on the router then the router in DMZ on the modem and then only forward non gaming ports that need access from the net like requests being added to my playlist.
This allows me to setup up internet access rights for the software on the gaming rig software firewall with less tweaking on the router for a non restrictive nat for gaming whilst still maintaining good software and hardware firewalls for the other devices on the network.
(sorry I get carried away when I talk IT xD)
They have software VPN's, That's what I use it's just a program I download from them and it encrypts all the traffic entering or leaving my PC to the VPN's server. I play games and surf the internet and stream movies on it just fine. I didn't need to have access to my route or mess with any ports.Quote:

Otherwise you suffer the consequences of living on campus as most SysAdmins are unwilling to port forward for non-education purposes. Dems da breaks, son.
If it work for you use it..thou the downside is your adding an extra hop or more and inducing extra latency for gaming. Just a matter of what works best for each case.Quote:
