Last Friday a neighbour living just across the street from my house called to see how I got on and i explained to him. 7th ) another engineer arrived, I showed him what engineer 1 had said needs doing and he popped off to go to the cabinet. He rang another engineer to check if he could get a key and went away saying they would be back to me shortly. The cabinet to which he had a key for was also locked with a Padlock and unfortunately he had no key for this. He arrived back around 15 minutes later saying ( Bad News ) He said he would be back in 5 minutes as he had to go to the cabinet in changeover the connection. This is set on to enable applications or hardware like xbox to create their own port forwarding rules but it is a serious security risk as malware can exploit uPnP for nefarious purposes, so it's best to control port forwarding manually.Įngineer arrived last monday 6th and had a look around at my setup ( connections on walls)Īll seemed good and he disconnected the box to which I had phone/modem connected and clipped on two wires to it and a box to do some reading or whatever. One thing I did turn off was uPnP (which is enabled by default). The VF VDSLmodem/router is exactly the same. I've had three different ISP-supplied modem/routers over the past 10 years and all have had user facilities within the NAT / firewall configuration to permit port forwarding or "pinhole enabling".
I use this facility to permit remote access to my Planeplotter feed on my PC.

It's a pain in the ass, I've yet to figure out how to do it.Īs ED E posted, the router by design blocks inbound connection attempts from the WAN to random ports, so you have to specifically nominate ports and IP addresses within your LAN to allow external connections. They block them by giving you routers/hubs with no flexability in its firewall, so you have to manually port-forward to allow people to connect to your router. Some ISPs block them to stop P2P file-sharing. Ports are used to connect others to your router. No, the ports for internet browsers is always open and it would not effect the speed anyway. which is the ADSL connection.ĭo you need port-forwarding for seeding on uTorrent? See screenshot for the correct route - it defaults to ATM_TR069. You have to specify that you are using the VDSL connection. The technician should be able to advise on this or may even run an extension specifically for the VDSL modem.īe aware, that if you need to set up port forwarding (for xbox, gaming etc.) on the VF modem/router, the settings look at the ADSL connection by default. If you currently run your existing ADSL modem off an extension this might not be suitable for the VDSL kit as it needs a proper twisted pair cable run. You may want to give some thought as to where you want to site your new modem as it is supposed to be plugged into the master socket. If you have phone extensions in place they will no longer need filters as there is a filter built into the master socket. The technician installs a new master socket (this is usually in the hall where the cable comes into the house) which contains a splitter/filter and reconnects any extension cabling or monitored alarm cabling if you have it.
