5:18 - Here's a timestamp for anyone who actually needs a port forwarding tutorial. The first 5 minutes are just him explaining what Foundry is. Which if you're seeing this video, you already know what it is.

[@AlMurray-yz8fw]

This still works, and this was the only process that worked for me. Thank you 🎉

[@Lycaon1765]

Thank you very much this made it super easy for my not tech savvy self, great video!!

[@MultiBrayan9]

does this work only in the area that I live or can work for anyone anywhere?

[@brainmold]

Thanks for the tutorial, worked great!

[@samuelwawrzeczko9937]

Thank You so much, this video was a great help for me

[@epicawesome1910]

hey man great video i could not find the part where you talk about what we need to do with the fire wall

[@cp1cupcake]

I'm going to give this a try. It looks good (I have an extra step since I have 2 routers) but I haven't tried it in game yet. I was using ngrok previously.

[@Celestriaeon]

Totally new to Foundry and VTTs. Since this video is over a year old, I noticed that the Dungeon Crawl is no longer listed for the systems. D&D5e is the style I'm looking for so I installed that instead.

[@gourjanian2068]

i did the port forwarding and it still doesn't connect over the internet, it says " 'IP' refused to connect." what do i do? :(

[@gabrielosvair]

Could you make a video configuring SSL for the Audio/Video Integration?

[@fireball2975]

Hey Tim. Im using a Sagecom Fast 5355 router and ive followed all the instructions you've gone through as well as some additional resources. Ive followed everything to the T and yet no matter what I try, the port forwarding does not seem to work. Ive even added a new rule in windows defender firewall and still nothing. If you have any advice or tips, that would be greatly appreciated.

[@horusofoz]

Some ISPs block port forwarding so it may be worth checking if that is where your issue is happening.

[@BlackGulchSaloon]

The router I was using was a SAGMCOM too and nothing I did could get port forwarding to work. I replaced it with an older Asus router, configured port forwarding on it, and now it's working beautifully. I can invite homies to Foundry.

[@kamillekuchen9454]

still works :)

[@bradgraham1254]

Very helpful! Thank you!!!

[@JimHopper]

Thanks for the vid - very helpful.

[@Jakneife]

Hi Tim, thanks for the vid. My router page mentions an external starting port and external ending port rather than a port range. Should I use 80 for both?

[@tommydeforrest3338]

i need to use the my spectrum app to do this for whatever reason. can someone link me to a video that helps with this specific problem? or just tell me what to do?

[@ponkarta2012]

Thanks for the tutorial video , i'll try it later soon 😊😁😃

[@jordanjustjordan7979]

Okay, my internet invite still doesnt work, only my local one does, does that matter at all?

[@CoyoteKin]

Same here

[@pelti93]

Thanks! I am still trying to figure out how to make your server SSL so you can have A/V on foundry. I tried following the instructions but they seem too vague, or I am stupid. Neither is there any proper video on the topic yet.

[@twintailsaudios]

I have verizon and it asking me for the original port. What's that ?

[@andrewmenees473]

Worked for me!

[@tefrach3428]

After fixing the ip I cant open the router website. If I return it to standart it works again. Can somebody help me out?

[@tefrach3428]

I already checked the firewall but it doesnt help

[@drifloonsupremacyassociation]

I am going insane. my router configuration looks so different from yours i cannot get this to work

[@cooki3th1ef]

2:23 wtf fell over 😭

[@23Stopher]

Thanks a bunch!

[@One1Won-]

i love you

[@Celestial-rn4vm]

who designed this? this is so.... bad...

[@jaredkelly4866]

Looks like it's Netgear

[@Xenibalt]

they want 50$ for this?! holy shit man ....

[@Xenibalt]

i tried all these steps and 2 other guides as well and it doesnt work...? foundry is actual buttstink

[@WiseOwl_1408]

Well worth it.

[@MiniCerberus991]

imo, it's worth it. it's just very complicated to actually set up at the end of the day. especially if your Internet provider has a bunch of weird things going on
