Port forwarding is a networking technique that allows a computer to receive incoming network traffic on a specific port from the internet. This is useful for hosting multiplayer games, such as Minecraft, which require players to be able to connect to the host computer from the internet.
Setting up port forwarding for Minecraft is a relatively simple process. First, you need to find out your router’s IP address. This can usually be found on a sticker on the router itself, or by logging into the router’s web interface. Once you have the router’s IP address, you need to open a web browser and type it into the address bar. This will bring you to the router’s web interface.
