through the firewall on the correct port. Since the ports are only open when you are
gaming, port triggering is a very secure method for online gaming.
To set up port triggering you need to know what ports your game is using and whether
they use TCP, UDP or both on those ports. Typically this should be included with your
gaming software. If it is not included, try entering the name of your gaming software
followed by “ports used”.
Some games use the same ports for both incoming and outgoing traffic, while other
games use different ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.

In this case the same ports are used for both incoming and outgoing traffic, so we would
