Ok, you're good to go on that test, we'll use this thread to get you set up

left shadow
#

Okay thank you!

latent ridge
#

You'll need to download and log into Spectrum's app

left shadow
#

done

latent ridge
#

Once you're in, go to Services -> Equipment -> Router -> Advanced Settings -> Port Forwarding & IP Reservations

left shadow
#

Okay, in. Would it be best to be connected to the wifi on my phone?

latent ridge
#

It shouldn't matter, IIRC Spectrum sends the updates from the app to your router regardless of where you're logged on at. If it was just logging onto the router, then we'd need to be on the same network

#

Okay np, I'm in the port forwarding settings

latent ridge
#

First we'll reserve an IP for your computer so the router doesn't change it on you. Select your computer from the list under Create IP Reservation.

Then go to Add Port Assignment:
Name: Foundry
Ports: 30000 for both Internal and External
Protocol: TCP
Then have it go to your computer

#

Then check the checkbox to confirm

Looks like it restarted my router

latent ridge
#

Hopefully that's a good sign

#

Yeah, so do I also need to do the firewall configuration now?

latent ridge
#

Yes.

#

Click Start, type Windows Defender Firewall, and then press ENTER. There should be a spot to view rules. We want to delete any and all rules for Foundry so that we can add a more robust one

After those rules are deleted: Search for Powershell in your start menu, right-click it, Run As Administrator, and run this command
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'Foundry Port' -Profile 'Any' -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 30000

#

So I ran that script before checking if any existing rules existed lol

#

Got a bit excited there

latent ridge
#

No worries, just delete every Foundry rule except for Foundry Port then

left shadow
#

I only see two rules, both of them are named Foundry Virtual Tabletop, should I delete those and run the script again?

latent ridge
#

Yes

#

If any red text appears when you run it, get me a screenshot of it please

left shadow
#

Okay gotcha

latent ridge
#

Then leave that window open, I've got one more command to run to check on your network

left shadow
#

The red text of death!

#

(hopefully not)

latent ridge
#

Press your windows key, type in "powershell", and then select Run As Administrator

#

Making firewall changes requires elevated permissions and that's Windows' equivalent of sudo

left shadow
#

A okay

#

So run the command again with the administrator poweshell?

latent ridge
#

Yes

left shadow
#

No red text, looks like a success

latent ridge
#

Perfect

left shadow
#

I see the foundry port rule

#

Any more steps?

latent ridge
#

Ok, next, in that same powershell window, enter
Get-NetConnectionProfile | Select-Object NetworkCategory

#

Does it say Public or Private?

left shadow
#

Public

latent ridge
#

Ok, we'll need to change it to Private or else Windows will get real picky about who it lets connect

#

Enter
Set-NetConnectionProfile -NetworkCategory Private

left shadow
#

Okay looks like that command was a success

latent ridge
#

Once that's done, fire up Foundry, disable UPnP by checking the little box for it on the Configuration screen, then launch your world and see if you've got a checkmark

left shadow
#

Okay, thank you! I'll go check now

#

Omg thank you so much

#

You've been extremely helpful

#

Is there anywhere I can leave you a tip or positive review?

latent ridge
#

Getting you up and running is rewarding enough 🙂

left shadow
#

Aww, well at least know that my group and I thank you for helping us get our PF2e campaign up and running!
