First register to a vpn service a complete list of those who use port fowarding option can be found here
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
Just upgrade, then open pure VPN and choose CONFIGURE
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
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.
Type “cmd” and then click “OK” to open a regular Command Prompt Type : ipconfig
Note IPv4 Address
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
ZTE
SPECTRUM
It seems you can found great deal of information on this website https://portforward.com/router.htm
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
Select mode and DEDICATED IP MODE
Then select Location and connect to VPN, you are now good to go
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”
2. Allow port in windows firewal for 8515 https://windowsreport.com/open-firewall-ports/
