# VPN & Port Fowarding

First register to a vpn service\
a complete list of those who use port fowarding option can be found here

<https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/3oar5m/list_of_vpns_that_allow_p2p_and_port_forwarding/>

I will focus on Purevpn

<https://www.purevpn.com/port-forwarding>

Install it, then open

\
Click the gear up to go into settings

\
If you already have Purevpn but not port fowarding option, update your account

![](https://323189973-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LkDu_ghvfZNGQ3xhN8v%2F-LkJEV13gnDMFGTg7aak%2F-LkJFx2boyV1VVUdteCn%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=58d0b494-eeae-4f17-a766-37ca45139171)

Just upgrade, then open pure VPN and choose CONFIGURE

![](https://323189973-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LkDu_ghvfZNGQ3xhN8v%2F-LkJEV13gnDMFGTg7aak%2F-LkJGAHMrvwwZGvNDM0q%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=cb3504a7-1f7a-43ec-a8a2-62a4bdeaf7c4)

\
\
\
You will be redirect to your member area Choose "Block all but enable specific"

When this option is selected under settings. It allows ports to be blocked but making a few exceptionsand write 8515

Then APPLY SETTINGS

![](https://323189973-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LkDu_ghvfZNGQ3xhN8v%2F-LkJEV13gnDMFGTg7aak%2F-LkJGgPKj3xpCAt2qkkX%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=00d9e572-44dc-4d2b-8393-f9625a282e8b)

\
\
So now LAST thing to do is to tell your modem to foward all connection on port 8515 to the computer network IP where your wallet is installed

\
On the computer where KINGFISH is installed,Press Windows+R to open “Run” box.&#x20;

Type “cmd” and then click “OK” to open a regular Command Prompt\
Type : ipconfig

Note IPv4 Address<br>

## FINAL STEP

\
In your ISP modem you have to create the port fowarding Rule.\
Basically, you need to forward connection on port 8515 to the IPv4 Address

Unfortunatly there is no universal tutorial, because there are so many different modem brand<br>

ZTE<br>

SPECTRUM

\
\
It seems you can found great deal of information on this website\
<https://portforward.com/router.htm>\ <br>

ONCE PORT FOWARDING IS SET BEAR IN MIND IT IS MANDATORY TO RUN PUREVPN in DEDICATED IP MODE, if not port 8515 will fail to open.0

\
From Pure VPN main page select CHANGE MODE<br>

![](https://323189973-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LkDu_ghvfZNGQ3xhN8v%2F-LkJEV13gnDMFGTg7aak%2F-LkJI63i7ISuLb6zHEjf%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=cf786273-3dd1-4f89-8cdb-b6ce3f24bc71)

Select mode and DEDICATED IP MODE

![](https://323189973-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LkDu_ghvfZNGQ3xhN8v%2F-LkJEV13gnDMFGTg7aak%2F-LkJIIhO2EbSTGSoidtO%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3c15a372-23c8-4c59-a4e0-ada5dd890252)

\
Then select Location and connect to VPN, you are now good to go

![](https://323189973-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LkDu_ghvfZNGQ3xhN8v%2F-LkJEV13gnDMFGTg7aak%2F-LkJIQiQxdKpuuj5p6Zu%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=34017de2-a23f-4cf2-9865-9d1a895d5f35)

\
OPTIONAL
--------

1.Further thing to check, if Kingfish & Bitgrin are allowed

Press Windows+R to open “Run” box. Type “Allow an app through firewall ” and then click “OK”

![](https://323189973-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LkDu_ghvfZNGQ3xhN8v%2F-LkJEV13gnDMFGTg7aak%2F-LkJIbFhdyWmPUBhNqLM%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=de88bfb2-5c10-47d0-926a-75fcc6d3552f)

\
2\. Allow port in windows firewal for 8515\
