Tekken 7 offers a range of new and old characters to choose from, plus you can customize every character. You can fight against tough Tekken players online and build up your skills over time.  

However, if you ever face connectivity issues on Tekken 7, consider opening ports on your router for seamless, consistent connections. This guide covers how to port forward Tekken 7 on multiple routers (Starlink, Spectrum, Xfinity). 

What is Port Forwarding? 

Port forwarding is a networking technique that allows you to maintain stable connections between a device on your private network and an application or server. Mainly, gamers and offsite workers open ports on a router to avoid connectivity issues. If you wish to host Tekken 7 or enhance gaming performance, consider port forwarding your at-home router.

Before You Forward a Port

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

How to Port Forward Tekken 7 Manually 

  1. Open the Command Prompt on Windows and Terminal on Mac devices for the router’s IP address. 
  2. Open the web browser and enter the IP address. 
  3. Log in with your username and password. 
  4. Navigate to Advanced Settings, Port Forwarding, or NAT. 
  5. Create a new port forwarding rule using TCP and UDP numbers. 
  6. Enter the details, such as service name, protocol (TCP or UDP), internal IP address, and port range.

How to Port Forward Tekken 7 Automatically 

PureVPN offers a port forwarding add-on that helps you open ports on routers without technical expertise or changing the configuration settings. You must get a PureVPN subscription, get the port forwarding add-on, download the app, and open ports automatically.  

Why is Opening Ports behind CGNAT an Issue? 

Whether you’re looking to open ports for secure remote connection or online gaming, you will face issues if your router is behind CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT). Most ISPs (internet service providers) perform CGNAT to preserve IPV4 exhaustion and network congestion. However, you won’t be able to open ports on the router behind CGNAT even if you know how to do it. 

How to Open Ports on Routers Behind CGNAT

If you somehow port forward a router behind CGNAT, chances are your IP address can get blocked and blacklisted because multiple consumers are relying on the same network as you are. Use PureVPN’s port forwarding add-on and dedicated IP to open ports behind CGNAT. 

Here’s how:  

  1. Login to the PureVPN member area.
  2. Click the subscription tab.
  3. Click Configure.
  4. Apply your desired port settings.
  5. Click Apply settings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What ports should I open for gaming?

    Plus

    3074 and 3075 are the ports you should open for high-intensity games and stable performance.

  • Does port forwarding enhance speed?

    Plus

    No. Port forwarding can definitely impact your gameplay by maintaining a direct connection between your gaming device and external servers. It reduces latency rates, allowing other players to connect to a session without issues.

  • Is open NAT safe?

    Plus

    No. Open NAT improves the online experience by reducing lagging and buffering issues, but it removes all restrictions from the router. It can expose your device to DDoS attacks, unauthorized access, and malware.

Final Thoughts 

Now you can port forward Tekken 7 on routers both manually and automatically. Port forwarding is risky, and you will always be careful when opening ports without enhanced privacy. Consider using a privacy solution, PureVPN, for port forwarding routers behind CGNAT, and never worry about connectivity issues or malware.
