Title: [Tool] Open 8333 port on NAT devices Post by: lontivero on March 10, 2015, 08:03:37 PM For those that are behind a NAT and don't know how to do port forwarding on 8333 port. I have created a little Windows command line tool to do it automatically.

All it does is use UPnP to tell the router to forward port 8333, which is completely useless since Bitcoin Core automatically does this already. If Bitcoin Core can't forward the port by itself (usually because the router doesn't support UPnP), neither can your tool.

Even if your router doesn't support UPnP it takes less than 5 seconds to port forward. |
