Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Siege is a high-intensity tactical game where you can play alone, engage in operational warfare, build a team, and attack enemies. When you are playing games like Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Siege, you can open ports on your router to maintain stable connections. This guide covers how you can port forward Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Siege and play exceptionally well. 

What is Port Forwarding? 

Port forwarding is a networking technique that creates a direct line of communication between your computer and external server. Most people open ports on their routers for remote connections, P2P downloads, and online gaming. However, opening ports can be risky as your device is exposed to outside networks. 

Before You Forward a Port 

You need to know the following before opening ports for any game and application: 

  • The IP address of your router 
  • The IP address of your device (computer or console)
  • Port numbers (UDP and TCP)

Why is Opening Ports on Routers behind CGNAT an Issue? 

Some routers are not designed to open ports and direct incoming traffic to devices. If your ISP (internet service provider) performs CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT) to prevent network congestion, it will be difficult for you to open ports. Even if somehow you port forward a router behind CGNAT, your IP address can get blacklisted or banned because others are relying on the same network as you are.

If you are struggling to port forward routers behind CGNAT, get PureVPN's port forwarding add-on with a dedicated IP to open ports. 

Here's how:  

  1. Login to the PureVPN member area.
