    Hello, when i try to forward ports on my router should i type under "internal" or "external" or both? My specific case would be forwarding 3 ports to steam
    Best regards

    Both.

    Your router needs to know what client is using the port forwarding, so you will specify the IP address, the internal port (this will be the port specified by Steam), and the external port, which in this case will be the same port number.

    So it would go:
    my ip adress Start port End port Start port End port typeUDP/TCP ?
    thats how it bassicly goes on my router when i enter port forwarding, they give me 2 numbers but i have 4 slots for them ?
    Also, here are the ports (i need the first 3 listed)
    Can you maybe show me on an example (one of them)
