Everquest ports

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi all,

Has anyone had to deal with opening ports or whitelisting for customers on hotspots running Everquest the game?

They apparently want the below open. I believe the 1024-6000 are primarily “outgoing”

the others are "bi-directional.

Application: EVERQST Port range: 1024 - 6000 Protocol: TCP/UDP
Application: EVERQST1 External port: 7000 Internal port: 7000 Protocol: TCP/UDP

Can someone guide me to direct/open these ports only to a specific user/IP?

Thanks

You can make NAT rules for that,

However it might be not good way to forward all ports to the specific user.
Perhaps this application could be supported by UPnP?

Thanks,
:bulb: I didn’t think that one through, at all
Problem solved. Simple Nat. And I did narrow down the ports without doing UPnP
