Before we can forward ports for Vuze, we need to figure out what ports Vuze is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Vuze.

Click Tools in the menu at the top of the program. Then click Options in the list that drops down.

In the menu on the left hand side of your screen, click Connection. On this page you should see a box called Incoming TCP / UDP listen port. You can change the port number that Vuze is using if you like. The number that is in that Port box is the port that you will have to forward.
Please enter the number that was in that box below.
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router.
By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.1.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now.
By default the username is admin, and the password is admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above did not work for you.
Click the Advanced link near the left of the page.
You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Virtual Servers.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Vuze requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Virtual Servers menu and then click Add.

| Protocol: | |
| Internal Port No. | External Port No. |
And that is it! You are done!
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
