Port forwarding issues
Hi, I'm trying to forward some ports on from my router to my PC but am having quite a bit of trouble.
As you can see in the screenshot below. I have added both of the required ports to allow co...

I assume that the whole idea here is to allow some other instance of
the game (running on a different system) to communicate with the game
server (running on your server at "192.168.0.35").

Forget about port checkers, and try a real client-server test?
Run the game client on some other system which is on your LAN, and
try to get it to connect to the game server which is running on your
game-server system (at its LAN IP address). If that works, then try
again, specifying the router's WAN/Internet (your public) IP address
(58.107.x.y). If that works, then try again, from some outside-world
client system.
There is no other system running anything in relation to this game.
The goal is to open and forward the ports that the game server (hosted by the developer) uses to connect to the individual client.
The two devices that I'm concerned with are the router and my PC.
To put it shortly, the router isn't forwarding the connection for two ports to my PC.

At least one of us has no idea what you're actually trying to do.
Generally, a client connects to a server, and the NAT router on the
client side deals with replies from the server without any need for
"opening" or forwarding ports.
Port forwarding is required when some external client wants to
initiate a connection to a server which is behind a NAT router. You
don't need to "open" or forward ports to allow a client to connect to an
external server.- From the Destiny 2 troubleshooting page -
Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding is the process of manually defining rules to allow connections through a player's router. Players that do not use UPnP will likely need to use Port Forwarding to allow all of the connections Destiny needs.
Ports that should be FORWARDED INBOUND
PC - UDP - 3074, 3097 - Also, the multiplayer in Destiny 2 uses Peer to Peer connection.
Hey, I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
