Configuring a Router for Local Hosting using IGOR

The ports that iGOR and GPL use need to be opened on the router and forwarded to the server hosting GPL and iGOR.

GPL Ports

GPL uses these ports:

iGOR Ports

iGOR uses these ports:

Router Settings

This is an example of the port forwarding rules when running two servers behind a single router. UKGPL04 uses the standard ports and UKGPL05 uses an alternative set of ports (when running a single server behind a router just use the standard ports i.e. the UKGPL04 setttings). For domestic routers all the outbound ports are normally open. Hence the table below only lists the inbound ports.

Notes:

1. When connecting via iGOR, drivers do not need to be concerned about the port settings. Similarly, when connecting to a server using the default ports via the GPL Multiplayer interface, drivers just need to type in the WAN IP address. However, when connecting to a server using alternative default ports via the GPL Multiplayer interface, drivers need to type in the (start) port number in addition to the WAN IP address. In the case of UKGPL05 this would be aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:32666.
2. Unfortunately the standard distribution of iGOR (Release 1.6) does not support different ports. However there is a patched version available here that does support different ports. Use the patched iGOR on the server that needs to use different ports (in this case on UKGPL05).
