OK guys, I've have port open on router. Tested with outside port tester, to confirm its open, with success. I have placed rules in windows defender to allow both out and inbound for port 1802, and I have complete turn of the firewall. Still unable for people to connect outside my network. I have connect to my game on my network with other computer. I have check to make sure outside computer is private, and nothing stopping it for trying to connect to me. But every attempt has failed. "Unable to connect to host computer". Any ideal what the problem is, or what i can try to fix it. Thanks

Hello Jbnon, you say that you opened the port on your router. What you really want to do is forward all traffic to that port over to your computer that you use to run FG. That is done via a port forward. It's different than just opening a port.
