criston Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hello Trinity Core Community, I wanted to know if there is a way a wow server can work without opening the ports. What happened is that me and my family used to play wow, The Lich King version, but we cannot play anymore, because the cable company close all my ports, and they don’t want to open them anymore. They want their clients to pay more money for this service, that used to be free. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nay Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Find something like Hamachi, Evolve, Tunngle or perhaps a VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDawg Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ports are not handled by the ISP, they are configured by your internal router/gateway. Your ISP can not control your ports, unless it's behind a restrictive proxy server which you are trying to play while at work, a library, or some company. Even though there are ways around that. The only reason I know that, is because I live in the same area you do or share the same ISP's from where I live in the states down to Baja Mexico where you live. Anyhow, are you referring to a static IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeston Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 They can block external connections to your ports if their NAT cutoff is configured not to forward them (and doesn't let you access config/allow you to change it). Not going to stop you from playing in the same household (inside the NAT), but won't let you connect from outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criston Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Thank you all for taking the time to answer me, and the company did close all ports and they cannot be opened. I researched and I found out they want to charge more to have a normal ip, there were many people who were opening the ports to put cameras, and now they cant even do this. Thanks for your comments, I keep updating the database and also I have not stopped playing. Edited October 1, 2016 by criston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
