    323367Port forwarding is a way to make a computer on your network accessible to computers on the Internet, even though they are behind a firewall/router. This is commonly used when playing games or downloading files. If you have forwarded a port in your router settings, it is referred to as an open port. 0 A.D. uses UDP 20595 by default.[[BR]][[Manual_SettingUpAGame#Settingupyournetwork|Wiki/Manual_SettingUpAGame#Settingupyournetwork]] lists links to some router manuals.[[BR]][[Image(FAQ:router_port_forwarding.jpg,center,500)]]
