Port Forward Call of Duty Vanguard: How to Open Ports Behind CGNAT  

Call of Duty Vanguard is an FPS shooter game in which you carry guns and weapons to shoot other players and creatures. Shooter games like COD require stable connections with minimal to no lag. You should open ports on routers to enhance your network connection and incoming requests. This guide covers how you can port forward Call of Duty Vanguard manually and automatically.   

What is Port Forwarding? 

Port forwarding is a networking technique that creates a direct line of communication between your device and game servers—open ports for gaming, remote connections, and P2P downloads. However, port forwarding is risky as it can expose your data to prying eyes and intruders. 

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 behind CGNAT an Issue? 

Most local internet service providers perform CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), which is a networking technique to assign a single IP to multiple consumers and prevent network congestion. 

However, you won’t be able to open ports on routers behind CGNAT. Even if somehow you can open ports on routers behind CGNAT, chances are your IP address can get blocked or blacklisted.
