How to Forward Ports for Warframe
Because port forwarding configurations are unique to the specific devices in your home it’s best to check with the router provider/device manufacturer for specific help with setting up port forwarding.
The steps below provide an overview of how to set up port forwarding for most devices:
-
On the bottom of your router, you will see a sticker that should tell you the company name and product name of the router you are currently using.
- With this information, please search your router's User Manual online in Google, e.g. ROUTERNAME, MODEL NUMBER, user manual
- Once you have this, you should be able to find port forwarding and UPNP in the Table of Contents. If it is a readable document you can also use the
Find Command (Ctrl+F)and search for the same terms. - Before the next step, please search for Command Prompt on your computer. This can easily be done by typing in
CMDinto your Windows Search Bar in the Start Menu. - In Command Prompt please type
ipconfig, exactly as you see it. This will tell you the IPv4 which is your machine's Local IP. You will use this information to set the ports to this address.
- You should now be able to simply follow the instructions in your User Manual to create the correct port forwarding profile using the ports below. Here is an example of what your router page may look like for ports 4950 and 4955:

Connecting from a restricted network: If you are connecting from a restricted network, such as a college campus, you will need to provide the ports above to your network administrator so they can forward them for you.
Disable UPnP: After setting up your new port forwarding rules please go back into your router and ensure you have also disabled UPnP. Then go back into Warframe and disable UPnP and NAT-PMP in the network settings menu. This will ensure that our port forwarding settings are free to work as intended.
Once done, please restart your computer/console.
