PORTS NOT OPENING ON WINDOWS 10 PRO - HP EITE BOOK

[slicky001]

I have tried several methods to get the ports open yet none worked... below are what I have tried'

On Docker, I use Stellar Dummy I have added the ports both on inbound and outbound setting on my firewall

I have also updated my IP Helper

I have turned off all my firewall, and i dont have installed antivirus

I dont really know what the issue is...at the point of pinging my computer, it just goes back and shows " NOT OPEN"...

I tried two different port checkers, One showed "CLOSED"

the other showed "FILTERED". "UNKNOWN"

Please can anyone help out?

Thanks

You must have to configure to add local IP address, port forward and open DMZ in your admin page.

Depend on your router, but there is a video which can help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISw0pR6X-as

On firewall only list the internal ports 31400-31409. Try setting the external to any. The docker container will be listening on 31400-31409, but external could be coming from other ports - as far as I understand it. But on router you need to port fwd 31400-31409 from external ip to internal ip of docker pc.

I have this problem too, disabled all firewall (pc and router), made port forwarding rules on router and still "NOT OPEN". It's so frustrating spending entire day sitting on a computer but without good results.

Same here. I tried everything but can’t get ports open. Very disappointing. I’ll be thankful for any hint.

@HolgerM1 Port forwarding on router should be mapping local ip address (or static IP address) on your laptop as well.

Hi @HolgerM1 - Please do the following (but without sharing any of the details):-

1. Please log into the admin portal of your router, and record the public IP address the router thinks it has been assigned.
2. Check it against the actual public IP address the outside world thinks you are on using https://www.ipfingerprints.com/portscan.php

If the IP Addresses are not the same, then your provider has given you a NAT'd IP address which is not a true public IP address. This is common practice with mobile network providers and ISPs who do not have a big enough IPv4 range allocation to cater for all the devices connected to their network. This means that you will not be able to forward external network traffic, on non-standard ports, to your local PC.

Two ways around it - Either switch to a provider who does not stick you behind a NAT, or - Use a VPN that does not block port-forwarding like Surfshark which worked for me when I was travelling, or try NordVPN that others have reported having success with (this is not an endorsement of either of these VPN services - you are free to find your own solution).

If on the other hand, the public IP addresses in 1. and 2. do indeed match, then all you need to do is configure port-forwarding on your router.

Hi all, and thanks @nhatvhm and @ihatejam for your suggestions. In my case, it's a bit more complicated. I'm behind a cg-NAT, and therefore I had to rent a Vserver with a "real" IPv4. From there I forward all traffic through a wireguard connection to my local PC which, in fact, is VM running under Proxomox. On the Vserver I opened all needed ports and I also set up the needed rules in the NAT. Theoretically, the traffic on the that ports should appear in the VM Windows 10 machine, where I further set up the needed Firewall rules.
