  • Page 37: Port Triggers

    Port Triggers Port Triggering works by sensing when your game sends data out through a specific port. The outgoing data signals the router to allow the incoming game traffic to be passed through the firewall on the correct port. Since the ports are only open when you are gaming, port triggering is a very secure method for online gaming.
  • Page 38 We will need to setup 5 triggers for World of Warcraft. The first rule would cover ports 1119-1120. Enter 1119 in the Trigger Start Port field and 1120 in the Trigger End Port field. Since these ports are used to send data both directions enter 1119 in the Target Start Port and 1120 in the Target End Port.
  • Page 39 If your online game does not work and you are sure that you entered the correct ports on the port triggering page, check to see if you have a firewall running on your computer that is preventing you from playing your online game. This firewall may be either the built-in Windows firewall or may be part of a third party security package you are using on your computer.
