Opening a port

[nblepaldin]

Hi, I have a galaxy note 3 i had rooted years ago. I use sprint. And i use this device as my hot spot to get online. Im trying to use the product Fantasy Grounds to host online rpgs but i cannot find a way to open the port so my friends can play with me. Sprint of course says a port cant be opened for security reasons. Anyone know how to do this or circumvent it to find a solution? Thanks for your help

Try using a VPN. That should be able to tunnel through any firewall port blocking Sprint is using.

Psiphon is a good free VPN we've been using for a while now.

Welcome to Android Forums @nblepaldin

I have a rooted Sprint Note 4 (n910p). I'll have to admit, port forwarding is something I've never done but I did come across this link that you might find of interest. Of course, Im hoping the vpn that @mikedt suggested works because that would be much easier.
