How to Port Forward GOG Galaxy in Your Router

Some GOG games require port forwarding for multiplayer. However, there is not one well-defined GOG Galaxy port that you can forward. Instead, you need to find the game that you want to forward from our list and forward those ports to your PC. If GOG Galaxy requires those ports it will pick them up.

You can find the ports required for your game in these lists:

• All games
• Games by game style
• List of ports for games and apps

When you use GOG Galaxy you might need to forward some ports in your router. The purpose of forwarding ports is to make a direct connection from the internet to GOG Galaxy.

By default routers do not allow incoming network requests. A port forward can overcome this limitation.

Before forwarding a port make sure that you know these things:

• The internal IP address of your router.
• The IP address of your computer.
• A list of TCP and UDP ports that need to be forwarded.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

• Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
• Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
• Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
• Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
• Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

To find your router's IP address the easy way you can use our free Router Detector software. Our Router Detector tool is free to use and is part of our Network Utilities software.

If you do not want to run the software, you can follow our Find Your Router IP Address guide.

We have Network Utilities software that can forward ports for you. With Network Utilities, you can easily forward ports and also un-forward ports quickly so that you can keep your network up to date with the ports that you need forwarded and maximize your network security.

Alternatively you can do it by hand. The way to forward a port is:

• Begin by logging in to your router.
• Locate the section in your router that deals with port forwarding.
• Type the IP address of your computer into the correct box in your router.
• It is now time to type the TCP and UDP ports that you are forwarding for GOG Galaxy in the correct boxes in your router.

Usually you have to reboot your router in order to save the changes.
