forward multiple ports
« on: July 20, 2008, 07:45:28 PM »
I need to forward UDP ports 10000 to 20000 to an internal IP. instead of doing it 1 for 1 in the server-manager..... is there a quicker way of doing it?

Do you really need 10000 open ports for one client?

It depends what server you are runnning, but AFAIK you can use the hyphen (-) to forward a range of ports. You could have read this in the server-manager portforwarding panel yourself:

Quote from: server manager portforwarding panel
If you wish to specify a port range, enter the lower and upper boundaries separated by a hyphen.
Did you try that already?

 :oops:   i put a space between the 10000 - 20000. you are right it worked without the spaces.
